How I Used Niacin to Grow Back My Hair Naturally

Niacin flushing
One of the most overlooked positive aspects of niacin flushing is the ability to stimulate hair production. When I first heard about this, I was a bit skeptic and hesitant: How could consuming a simple vitamin help against hair loss, a problem that many people seek a solution against? Because I was curious I tried it out myself and after initial success I suggested it too some friends. They too had some success with growing back hair naturally. This article will describe how this is possible, how I did it and how you can replicate these results.
How does it work?
When you consume an overdose of niacin, your veins will instantly widen temporarily. This stimulated blood flow through the capillaries. Moreover, it will also stimulate circulation to the scalp. This process ultimately aids in growing back hair. It will also have other benefits for your general health, muscle building and even depression (niacin for depression).

Regular overdosing of niacin can also reduce the production of a testosterone called DHT by the body. DHT often makes men bald at young age. Men that are bald early often have high testosterone levels. Niacin flushing reduces the effects of the particular form of testosterone that causes this baldness.

How did I did it?
You might have read of the awful side effects that occur after you take in an overdose of niacin. Fortunately, this is not necessary when consuming niacin to growing back hair naturally, since even the slightest overdose will improve blood flow.  My personal recommendation is about 35 mg niacin per day. Be sure to jot down in a notepad how much niacin you consume per day, this makes it much easier to avoid nasty side effects.
Good sources of niacin are:
  •         Mushrooms
  •         Dairy
  •         Chicken
  •     Coffee
  •          Liver
  •         Halibut
However, if you want to, you can also enjoy the benefits of niacin for hair growth externally. This is possible by applying niacin topically, at a specialist. However, in order to make this work, you will need a special form of niacin, to be more precise: One that is lipophilic. Lipophilic niacin is able to penetrate more deeply in the skin, and this is essential for improving circulation to the scalp.
What to expect
It has to be noted that niacin flushing is no magic pill against baldness. It will not instantly grow back all of your lost hair. However, it does certainly aid in growing back hair in a natural way, but do not expect wonders. It remains one of the most overlooked niacin benefits, but it deserves more media coverage.

The Amazing Benefits of Niacin Flush: Easier Weight Loss, Grow Back Hair Naturally and Treat Depression

Overdosing Niacin

I have always been a bit of a health nerd. I have read a lot about health in magazines, books and on school. However, the greatest revelation for me was niacin flushing. Niacin might be better known as vitamin B3. If you overdose this micro-nutrient, your body will go into a sort of ‘flushing’ state that gets rid of toxic waste cluttered in the capillaries and fatty tissues. It was already known for a long time that overdosing niacin could detox the body and improve cholesterol; however, recently scientific research showed that niacin flush has more salutary effects on your health. This article will explain how this is possible.

Slimming

First of all I have to state that niacin is by no means the next wonder pill that will instantly drop all of your superfluous fat. However, when you overdose niacin, your will get an extra burst of energy. This extra burst of energy could be used to do one more exercise at the gym or run just ten minutes longer. Indirectly, niacin can help you to slim.

However, this is not the only way in which niacin can help you lose weight. Regular niacin overdosing can also help preventing the production of cortisol, a stress hormone that usually puts a lot of fat on your belly.

Hair Growth

When you consume an overdose of niacin, your veins will instantly widen. This increases blood flow. The increased blood flow also improves circulation to the scalp. This stimulates the natural production of hair by your body. Niacin flushing also reduces the production of DHT, a form of testosterone that often makes men bald at young age.

Anxiety and Depression

When you are deficient in niacin, your body will use the amino acid tryptophan in order to produce niacin itself. However, tryptophan is also very important for the production of the hormone serotonin that causes ‘happy feelings.’ If all tryptophan in the body is used for the production of niacin, no serotonin will be produced anymore, and as a consequence you can become depressed.

A lack in vital micro-nutrients is an often overlooked cause of depression. Moreover, health experts and general practitioners can make no money by prescribing you to increase daily niacin consumption. Be sure to consume 15-20 mg per day and more if you binge drink often, since alcohol can destroy niacin in the body.

Niacin Consumption

In order to attain this daily niacin consumption, you can eat niacin dense foods like: Champignons, salmon, tuna, chicken breast or tamari. I highly recommend you to consume your daily dose of niacin naturally, since these foods also contain other important micro-nutrients. However, if you are pressed for time, a supplement like Slo niacin, will work fine too.
