Some of us have heard of the flushing effect which is caused from the Niacin in the "Step One" of HF-37. I read that Niacin is related to Liver damage. The recommended value is around 15 miligrams per day. The HF-37 program recommends 70 mg per day (2 "step one" tablets).It is also recommended not to use a time released Niacin supplement because it is worse on the liver(I don't know if HF-37 uses this or not). Does anyone have more information regarding the safety aspets of HF-37 or Niacin facts that can be shared.Also, I read the best form of niacin was Inositol Hexaniacinate, is the what we can find in HF-37??I want my hair to grow faster, but not if that means putting my health at risk.Let me know.

I have not heard of any of the concerns that you have expressed.I had my accupuncturist who studied vitamins and minerals and herbs for over 20 years analyze the H37 formula and he felt that it was excellent and could only help the overall health of anyone taking it.He said your comment about liver damage is completely unfounded and not even a valid concern.I have personally been taking the H37 for several months with only one incident of flushing when I took it on an empty stomach.I am going to call Mike Trobee and discuss this with him. Please send me your email adress which you did not put on this post and I will reply to you personally.I am going to research this completely as I would never take or recommend a product that I think would cause harm. The Hair Boutique does not endorse any of the Vivisceral products because we do not believe that they are the right solution for hair growth. However, Jeff and I and Jane endorse and believe in the H37. We are all taking it with great results. My skin has never looked better and softer.Thanks,Karen SheltonHair Boutique Webmastershelton@hairboutique.com> Some of us have heard of the flushing effect which is> caused from the Niacin in the "Step One" of> HF-37.

Karen,I agree. Meg's concerns are unfounded. I am studying nutrition in college and you can not overdose on Niacin. You can take too much Iron but H37 has a warning about not taking too much iron.I do agree about Vivisceral. It is way too expensive and I think the H37 is a better buy for overall hair, skin and body health.The flushing of niacin has nothing to do with liver damage.Thanks for your reply. It was right on.Julie> I have not heard of any of the concerns that you have> expressed.> I had my accupuncturist who studied vitamins and> minerals and herbs for over 20 years analyze the H37> formula and he felt that it was excellent and could> only help the overall health of anyone taking it.> He said your comment about liver damage is completely> unfounded and not even a valid concern.> I have personally been taking the H37 for several> months with only one incident of flushing when I took> it on an empty stomach.> I am going to call Mike Trobee and discuss this with> him.

Not a valid concern??"The side of effects of niacin are well known. The most common and bothersome side effect is the skin flushing that typically occurs 20 to 30 minutes after taking the niacin. Other occasional side effects of niacin include gastric irritation, nausea, and liver damage"--> This if from Enclyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements, by Michael T. Murray.I am wondering since the recommended dose is 15 mg per day and HF-37 suggests 70 mg per day if it it would increase side effects. I'm just concerned.You will find the exerpt on page 99 of the book under "Safety Issues". Also, the author notes that inositol hexaniacinate is the safest form of niacin currently available. Both short and long term studies show it is virtually free of side effects other than mild gastric upset or mild skin irritation.My other point was if HF-37 included this particular form of Niacin or not?> Karen,> I agree.
