Does NIACIN really work?

[BigBoy]

I've read yes. I've read no. WHat are your opinions. Does Niacin really help in cleaning your system?

I'm trying to get clean the right way without using any coverups or without diluting my test. I'm trying to just get clean so I have no worries. I am doing cranberry juice daily along with green tea and green tea tablets.

How much will NIACIN really help? And what purpose does it serve in the process of helping me cleans my body?

I purchased a bottle of NIACIN 500 with FLUSH

No it does not "work" and it can destroy your kidneys.

When was the last time you smoked and when is your test.

[BigBoy]

Smoked heavy for several years. Been clean for 13 days now. Will be clean for 28 days on the day of my test.

Please keep in mind that I have been an everyday smoker for several years, using up to 2 or 3 grams per day of some pretty high quality stuff. AND I am pretty overwidht in the 260-275 pounds range when I should be somewhere around 210-220.

So, I'm overweight and scared to death my body will not be clean of THC after 28 days. THat is why I am trying the NIACIN. But I am not over-using the NIACIN, just taking one per day.

I've still got about 15 days before my test. I do have a bottle of STRIP NC from GNC, but I really want to just be clean so I can do the test the right way. My plan is to never start smoking again after this, but I really want to do it right this time and not have to cheat on the day of the test.

What else can I do between now and then?

How about bentonite? And in what form should I buy bentonite?

staying clean is the only way to pass.

I wish I knew for sure I could be clean after 30 days. But I've read online that it takes 60-90 days for overweight people. And while I don't feel it or look it, I would consider myself very overweight.

This is a drug test that will haunt me for the rest of my life if I fail it, so it is very important to me to pass it. It is for a job, not jail or court related.

I know this. And I wish I had followed that 60 days ago. But the problem is, I only have 28 days total. If I were skinny, I would feel good about 28 days. But under these circumstances, I don't feel good about 28 days of being clean.

I've been able to pass probation tests by drinking a combination of cranberry juice, water, and gatorade (see: "how to pass a drug test" thread). You don't have to quit, but it is the only way to know for sure.


Look into Gov's drug testing posts. He never failed a test in like 5 years of testing, yet, he smoked everyday.



edit - but yeah, being overweight really does hurt you. The metabolite is stored in the fat cell.

2 - when I say "you don't have to quit." I mean you don't have to quit, but it's best to not smoke for a week or so.

[BigBoy]

Was this probation test sent to a lab, or done right there in teh probation office?

My test will be sent to a lab.

lab


you don't want to drink any water the day of the test. Only a lot of gatorade and some cranberry juice.

[BigBoy]

Honestly, I'm done with the smoke after this. I was ready to quit before, but this is the extra incentive I needed to be able to give it up.

I am 36 years old. I've been smoking since I was 13 years old. I've been smoking heavy for many years. I was going through 3 quarters a week (that's smoking about 3 grams per day).

Even though I have always kept a full-time job, sometimes two full-time jobs, I can honestly say that there have been many days where my pipe would never cool off the entire day.

[BigBoy]

I've got 1 gallon of 100 percent cranberry already stored in the fridge that I plan to drink in the last 24-48 hours before the test.

I am currently drinking something that is 100 percent juice, no suger added, but is only 28 percent cranberry juice. I simply cannot afford $16 per gallon for the 100 percent cranberry, so I am drinking the lesser stuff. Is this helping at all?

$16 for a gallon of cranberry juice!? Are like, cranberries rare in the area or something?


One gallon of cranberry juice is fine. Focus in on drinking water all day the day prior to the test and gatorade, at least two or three gallons the day of. Chug a 2 liter of cola like an hour before the test.

[BigBoy]

The only place I can find cranberry juice is at Wal-Mart. And they only carry one brand of 100 percent cranberry.

Most people believe they are drinking cranberry juice when they are actually drinking a cranberry/apple/pear/grape mixture. They only say cranberry on the front of the bottle, and they say 100 percent juice. But if you read the fine print, you are only getting 28 percent cranberry.

I checked everywhere in our town, which is the second biggest city in our state. So I am fairly certain that I'm getting 100 percent cranberry as cheap as I can.

you could try actually reading what people suggested to you the first time you posted about cleaning your system. if you had started doing all that right away, you would be good to go by now. how many days have you wasted in not taking bentonite? for somebody semi serious about wanting to pass a drug test, youre sure doing a pisspoor job of properly cleansing your system

youre 36 and youve been toking up for years, congratulations. does that make you above following simple ass instructions from people who know what the fuck they are talking about? i dont mean to come off as an ass, just cant stand it when people ask for advice, and after i give them quite specific help to their issues, they damn near flat out ignore me, and then ask somebody else.

you want to know what niacin does? well, thats simple.

Actually niacin is used somewhat significantly in medications such as blood pressure and high cholesterol prescriptions. However, not knowing how much niacin your body can withstand and how much the average physical body can withstand is entirely different and could lead to kidney failure, liver problems, and general discomfort.

Niacin is detectable in laboratory drug screenings nowadays. So easy on it.

Consider Golden Seal Root and Ginseng.

Edit: Go buy some drug screen "strips" available at Wal-Mart or GNC.

after 28 days you should be fine, i think the very most it stays in your system is 3-4 weeks. i can also see where you're coming from on the quitting for good idea. you're already quitting for four weeks so y not just say fuck it and stop for good right? the first couple weeks is the hardest because pot is all you think about.

Oh, you're for sure an ass. Anyone and everyone who reads what you just wrote will know that. I don't have to tell them you are an ass. They can obviously see that for themselves.

And just so you know, I have been following EVERY SINGLE SUGGESTION from the other thread. NOT ONE TIME IN THE OTHER THREAD DOES ANYONE MENTION Niacin, which is why I started this thread to ask.

The reason I asked about bentonite is because, while someone did suggest it in the other thread, I've yet to be able to find anything called bentonite iin our local GNC.

Anyone who would tell me HAD YOU DID WHAT I SAID, YOU WOULD BE CLEAN NOW AFTER 13 DAYS is a fool and should not be giving any advice on here.

Today is Thursday. On Monday of this week I went and had myself tested at the lab, just like I said I was going to do in the other thread. I failed with absolutely flying colors. The lady who called me with my results on Wednesday was laughing while reading my results because I failed so bad. And I have used no drugs other than pot in over a decade.

So I failed the lab test following every single instrustion (minus bentonite because I still cannot find it anywhere to buy). And I failed in a major way.

That is why I started this thread to ask about Niacin and to ask about bentonite (notice I asked about bentonite right away in this thread) and what form to buy it in. I found a product at GNC that contains bentonite, but I was not sure if this is the form I needed to buy it in.

I'm sorry you acted the way you did above. I'm sorry I have wasted my time responding to you. You have been very rude and very unprofessional. At least I can take pride in remaining professional in my conversation without proving to the world that I am an absolute ass. I'm sure your mom is proud.

Thanks for the advice.

On the Niacin, I have been taking it for three days exactly like the bottle says. I take one table per day. I will not take more than that.

I do think the Niacin is helping a little bit. If nothing else it is helping me with my diet, which is exactly what the bottle says it should be used for.

Again, thanks for your help and your advice.

Thanks for your advice, too. Glad you didn't go off on my like the other feller above.

I hope after 28 days I am clean. The most common answer both on here and from professionals has been "If you're clean for 1 month, you will pass."

My biggest worry is that I am so overweight that it may stay in my system longer.

As for quitting, it's just that time in life. I love to smoke. But I can't be a casual smoker and just do it here and there. I take it to extreme ($150 per week on average of some funky stuff). And doing that much, needless to say, I don't even feel like I get high anymore. And no doubt, it has made me lazy.

The first 7 days after I quit, I was a monster and I'm sure my wife was ready to leave I was so uptight and hard to live with. But that has gone away now. I am much more calm. It's been rather easy to stay off it and I plan to not do it again.

My biggest 'cleaning agent' has been God. I pray daily, sometimes several times per day, telling God that I want to be different. I know that I will need God on my side in order for me to pass this test.
