Never Take This Vitamin Alone If You Have DIABETES!

never take this medicine if you have diabetes I'll come back to my channel we talk about health wellness and everything in between now if you or someone you know has diabetes but I'm sure you do because this is the diabetes Channel you have probably heard a lot about the importance of taking vitamins and from me too but did you know that there is one vitamin you should never take if you have diabetes it is niacin it's also a medicine also known as B3 while it has a lot of benefits for most people for those with

diabetes it can actually do more harm than good if taking more than recommended dose now most supplements you will use will have a lot of niacin in them that will raise your blood sugar levels in this video we will dive into the reasons why excessive niacin can be dangerous for people with diabetes and how much is excessive and what you can do to make sure you are getting the right vitamins and minerals without putting your health at risk so grab your pen and the paper let's get started niacin or vitamin B3 special vitamin that our

body actually needs it is found in many foods like fruits vegetables and meat sometimes it's even added to certain food products and we can also find it in dietary supplements when we eat foods with niacin our body changes it into a helpful ingredient called NAD NAD works with over 400 enzymes in our body which is more than any other vitamin impressive right it also has a sibling called nadp that helps out in different ways but NAD and nadp are like superheroes that help our body's cells do their important jobs NAD for example helps turn the

food we eat into energy while nadp helps our body build things like cholesterol and fatty acids which we actually need plus nadp makes sure that our cells stay strong by fighting off bad things called antioxidants which diabetics have plenty of now niacin plays a big part in making sure our body works properly it helps our cells to function and keeps our skin hair and eyes healthy but how do we know if we have enough niacin in our bodies well scientists can check the niacin status of a person by looking at their urine if there is

the right amount of niacin related substances in the p then we know our niacin levels are good but what happens if we don't have or don't get enough niacin that is when we might start feeling unwell people with low niacin levels might feel tired they may have bad digestion or even develop red rashes on their skin yes right super important that we keep our niacin levels good luckily there are many yummy foods that are great sources of niacin and some examples are like I said the meat the chicken tuna turkey peanuts mushrooms and even some

you know serious but I don't recommend them so next time you are eating your favorite meal remember the niacin power in it B3 vitamin that seems to be both a blessing and a curse why well it can actually raise your good cholesterol but that does not really matter if it doesn't do anything to lower your risk of heart disease that was studied people used to take them a lot because it improves your good cholesterol but when you improve the good cholesterol with the medication it doesn't always help such as in this case so some may

tout its benefits for people with diabetes but the fact that it raises fasting glucose levels which is a big problem for a lot of people maybe it is time we all take a step back and reassess our love affair with niacin or maybe we should just stick to getting our B3 from actual food sources just a thought right so be warned my friends there is a fine line between getting enough of this vitamin and becoming Sugar Rush waiting to happen so you will need at least 1500 milligram of niacin to lower your cholesterol levels but

if you are taking anything less than 100 milligram a day you should be safe so if you're taking more than 1500 milligram you will be in trouble even more than a thousand sometimes personally I don't even like 500 milligram niacin my cut off is 100 milligrams a day so go for and enjoy your oats your nuts your poultry in moderation just like any other healthy food right and if you're on sugar MD diet vitamin you are even in a better position you know at Sugar remedies.com people love it people buy it and they feel more

energetic and they love it and it has a little bit of a niacin so that you don't go overboard but until next video let me tell you I love you all I'll see you in the next video hey guys I hope you are enjoying this channel so far and I hope you subscribed already if you didn't do it and if you did watch this video right there I think that will help you too
