It' s time to be B-b-b-b-b-Bold

[Torn Mind]

So, I took a megadose(250mg, which 20,833% of the DV) of just vitamin B1 yesterday night, around 5-6pm. There was some effect, as I did felt "sharper and more energzied". I also think I was able to discern the various sounds in music more clearly and without straining to do so.
Also had a bit of an increased appetite. Ate a bit more meat normal(riboflavin cravings?)

But, it comes at a cost, because I utterly CRASHED at around 11:26pm and quickly did a few last things and went to sleep.

So, ya energy drinkers are not just being hyped up by caffiene, but B1, but the CRASH will come.

I just took a pill of niacin as 400mg Inositol Hexanicotinate. I'll see how it goes.

B12 does nothing noticeable, FYI.

In high school, we used to take caffeine pills. I believe the Walgreens variant was called 'Awake' lol.

B12 should be taken with B6.

B12 taken by itself can increase the risk of colon cancer.

Excessive B vitamin use has more recently be tied to increased risk of lung-cancer.

I think the brand name version was 'No Doz' or 'No Doze'. Otherwise, Mountain Dew was the next-best source of caffeine that we had back then, heh.

The cheapest brand on the shelf was called "Jet-Alert" as I recall lol .... "No-Doze" is caffeine pills for the 1%!

I lied about the Mountain Dew...I forgot about 'Jolt Cola' haha. "Double the Caffeine...ALL the Sugar!" They refused to stock it in the school's soda vending machines, though I can't imagine why (/s), with kids needing to sit still in classes for the day, lol.

 

[WelshBloke]

Jeeze. Stop with the bro nutrition.

That stuff was ahead of its time although it was no "Mexican Coke" taste-wise.

The one time and only one time i took too much niacin, I had this insane flush where i felt like i was on fire. no bueno.

Did you look in the mirror? I guarantee you were as red as a fresh Maine lobster! (saw someone do this once)

In fact with what science has taught us recently about gut-bacteria and the usefulness of procedures like "fecal transplants" in maintaining our overall health, it MAY well turn out that "eating a$$" = health food!

 

[Pohemi]

oops mt...I blame Captante

 

[Captante]

I do have that effect on people!

*(a little Vicks-Vaporub applied to the upper-lip helps cover the "fragrance"!)

What's really needed is ass to ass transport medium or a bridge.

Excessive B vitamin use has more recently be tied to increased risk of lung-cancer.

So you're saying, my two-or-three-a-day energy drink habit, might be behind my severe wheezing? (I don't / never smoked. Except for a few tokes of MJ in my 20s, which did nothing for me.)

Ask your doc for an X-ray of your lungs, if you haven't already.

Yeah, I'm headed in that direction.

I have no intention of consuming them daily. I'm not ready for commitment. I need to play the field.

One, I'm mostly going to avoid multivitamins, because the folic acid/folate consumption is already plentiful(too plentiful for the other two except me) in the family.

Two, sister has periods, and this may help next month with suffering invovled.

Three, mother is an unintentional vegetarian and it suffices to say that recovery is not doable without the assistance of some supplementation. She loves her sweets and grains though, so it isn't wise for her to be OD'ing on B9 any more than she already is, so it's better to target the lack of B2 and B12 directly and independently.

The inositol hexanicotinate does not cause flushing. I experienced nothing. Not it's necessarily a good idea to eat megadoses every day, but the claims on the bottle are truthful for Walmart's Spring Valley branded niacin.

placebo effect (noun) · placebo effects (plural noun)

a beneficial effect produced by a placebo drug or treatment, which cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient's belief in that treatment:

placebo effect

Except I didn't believe B1 would do anything because I thought I already had enough and the doses in multivitamins also did nothing.

The crash was real though. Never felt the urge to just lay down and sleep and 11:30pm in the night. I easily go past that.

Waiting for the day I'm told that the consumption of water puts me at risk for cancer. We're getting close!
