ADEK Vitamins

[AnD]

The difference is the water soluble vitamins. With cf, we often have difficulty digesting fat, so the fat soluble vitamins tend to be low in our systems (due to malabsorbtion). When they make the fat soluble vitamins water soluble, we get more of the vitamins absorbed into our bodies than if we were taking a regular multivitamin. The vitamin K is an important one for blood clotting- if you aren't taking additional vitamin K, you may want to ask your doctor about a water soluble vit. K to add to your routine <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .

Oh, and the normal recommended dosage is twice a day for adults for the cf vitamins, to improve absorbtion, rather than just one mega dose once a day. I take an adult vitamin in the morning, and a chewable one (more vit. D) in the evenings.

I got the flush all over my face, elbows and knees when taking the AquaDeks, but I found taking only one in the AM and one in the PM makes that flush stop.

Question: Is the Niacin dangerous? Cause I am for sure allergic and was breaking out HORRIBLE til I switch up the dosage.

Thanks!

Its probably not that you are allergic to Niacin Giggles. Niacin is just another name for vitamin B3. Believe it or not, the Niacin flush is actually a good, albeit an uncomfortable thing.

Here is a little information

How does this relate to niacin flush, you ask? Simple. Niacin causes the capillaries to get bigger, and the end result is the "flush". The increase in size of your capillaries causes, in some cases, a redness on your skin in the areas that it is occurring. This is the first part of niacin flush. The second reaction of niacin flush is the annoying, and sometimes painful itch that comes along with it. This itch is actually healthy! The reason you are experiencing this itch is because the niacin has allowed more blood to reach your cells to remove toxins from them. As toxins are carried away and your cell becomes healthier, it is finally able to "call" your body for help! Your body responds by sending what is called a histamine to the cell. Histamines cause you to itch, but they also allow your body to send more water, blood, and nutrients to the area that called them.
