Quote from the Related Link: "Drug-users have long advocated the use of the B vitamin Niacin to help "flush" out drugs in order to pass a drug test. As it turns out, this is not only useless, but it may put you in the hospital.

Niacin is also known as vitamin B3. This vitamin aidsin digestion, hormone production, skin health, and nervous system maintenance (www.sciencenews.org). Niacin has a role in fat metabolism and doctors often prescribe niacin in large doses to patients with high cholesterol and triglycerides. Using this same idea, many drug users believe that niacin can also cleanse or "flush" the body of illicit drugs, especially marijuana.

However, this wide held belief in this "Niacin regimen" are not only incorrect, but can be very dangerous. Niacin has not been found to remove drugs from the body. Even so, many people use this niacin regimen, and it lands some in the emergency room.

Dr. Manoj K. Mittal, of a Philadelphia hospital reports that four patients presented to the E.R. due to adverse Niacin reactions. Two of the four Philadelphia patients exhibited nausea, rapid heartbeat and heart palpitations, dizziness, dehydration, low blood sugar, blood-clotting abnormalities, liver toxicity, and a dangerous drop in blood pH (www.sciencenews.org). One seventeen-year-old girl was brought to the E.R. in a coma as a result of too much niacin.

These patients tested positive for marijuana in a urine test conducted at the hospital. So obviously, the niacin did not "flush" the drug away.

The negative effects of too much niacin usually are reversed with time. In severe cases, though, the overdose of niacin can lead to acute liver failure (www.CNN.com)."

You smoked pcp on Friday you have a urine test on Thursday you have niacin 500 will it work or is it only for weed?

I have been in the same situation, and here is how I got out of it: -Take 2 niacin 500 milligram tablets, and chase those down with a half gallon of iced tea. (no, you don't have to chug it down, but if you drink it in about a half hour the antioxidants in the iced tea will certainly do the job) -You are going to feel a severely painful needle-like sensation in about an hour due to the niacin, so I suggest doing this about a half hour before you go to bed. -The following day, drink about a gallon of water if you can, or a half gallon as the bare minimum. -Take 2-3 more niacin tablets before bed that night. This works to cleanse your system of almost any drug, and results in a clean U.T. Hope this helps!


How much creatine do you drink and niacin To pass drug test?

Dude, put the niacin back on the shelf. You could eat a case of it in one night and still not clean the drugs out of your urine. And if you take too much niacin it can destroy your liver. Worse: any decent drug lab is going to test for adulteration, especially if you're being tested by the court system. "Adulteration" means you tried to screw with the drug test by taking "drug clean" or drinking a lot of water.

I am Drinking my wife's pee - is that alright?

It is perfectly alright. I have my partner drink my pee every night before bed. Done this for a very long time. The only times I don't do it is if I am taking any medicine for a cold or headache. He loves the different tastes depending on what I eat or drink that evening.
