You need to pass a drug test so you start to ask everybody you know “What do I have to do to pass a drug test?”  Well you can stop taking drugs for one thing.  Then your friend tells you that his cousin’s wife’s sister’s boyfriend used niacin to pass a drug test.  What is niacin and how can it help me pass? Niacin is basically vitamin B3 and IT WILL NOT help you pass a drug test.  It will, however, send you to the hospital if you take too much of it.

Niacin is helpful if taken in moderation.  It can promote healthy skin and central nervous system. It may also help to lower your cholesterol. Used as a steady regimen, niacin can lower your toxin levels but don’t try to flush everything out all at once with a large dose or you may suffer severe stomach cramps and other side effects such as a burning sensation of your skin and possibly a severe rash. You could turn your skin to a bright reddish color temporarily, like you have a severe case of sunburn which should be a red flag for the testing facility, no pun intended. You may experience ulcers, digestive problems, diarrhea and vomiting.  Extreme cases may also affect the functionality of your liver and a rapid heartbeat. You may also experience hives and heavy sweating and extreme nervousness.  Liver damage is a very real possibility with ingesting too much niacin at one time.

Niacin opens up your capillaries, that is why your skin may turn red and you will feel a warm sensation after taking too much of it. The recommended daily dose for niacin is 14 milligrams per day for women and 16 milligrams per day for men.  Anything above these levels may lead to the aforementioned side effects.  You don’t have to take a pure niacin supplement to achieve these levels as niacin can be obtained by eating foods like chicken, beef, liver, peanuts and cereal.

If you ingest excessive amounts of niacin you will not pass a drug test but you will definitely pass a stupidity test.  Remember, before taking any dietary supplement you should first consult your doctor to determine if it is safe and the right supplement for your situation.
