407.0. "Taking Niacin causing depression?" by CASV05::QUIGLEY () Tue Feb 21 1989 15:39

    Hi,
    
    have any info regarding taking Niacin to raise metabolism.
    
    A friend is doing it.  I know, off hand, that taking any
    B vitamins, without the other B vitamins, causes a 
    defiency.  A deviciency in the B's can lead to depression.
    
    If you have similar info or a resource please feel free
    to write.
    
    Thanks

407.1Niacin reduces Cholesterol49ER::MEYERSRadio Contest JunkyThu Mar 02 1989 19:309
    Hi,
    
    I don't know anything about taking Niacin to raise metabolism,
    but I did hear that taking Niacin (in large doses) decreases
    the bad cholesterol in your body.  Please refer to the book,
    Eight Weeks to Lower Your Cholesterol, or something like that.

	Megadosing vitamins is not something to take lightly!
    
    	There are lots of 'studies' that suggest befeits from large
    doses of vitamins, such as Linus Pauling's vitamin C book.  Seldom
    do they tell you about the long-term side effects.
