A direct niacin test is rarely the best way to assess vitamin B3 status. Clinicians usually diagnose suspected deficiency from symptoms, diet, medication history, and—when needed—urinary N1-methylnicotinamide plus targeted blood tests that identify the cause.
- Direct niacin test: Serum niacin is not a routine or well-standardized measure of nutritional status; urinary metabolites are more informative when deficiency is suspected.
- Urinary N1-methylnicotinamide: A 24-hour result below 0.5 mg/day, approximately 3.2 µmol/day, supports severe niacin depletion when collection is complete.
- Pellagra diagnosis: Pellagra remains primarily a clinical diagnosis based on characteristic photosensitive dermatitis, gastrointestinal symptoms, neurocognitive change, risk factors, and response to treatment.
- Vitamin B3 requirement: Adults generally need 14 mg niacin equivalents/day for women and 16 mg/day for men; 60 mg dietary tryptophan supplies roughly 1 mg niacin equivalent.
- Supplement limit: The adult tolerable upper intake level of 35 mg/day applies to supplemental nicotinic acid, not niacin naturally present in food.
- High-dose niacin: Nicotinic acid at 1,000–2,000 mg/day can affect liver enzymes, glucose, uric acid, and muscle symptoms, so clinicians monitor routine labs rather than a niacin level.
- Kidney function matters: Reduced eGFR can alter urinary metabolite excretion and makes a spot urine result less reliable than the clinical context.
- Do not self-treat neurologic symptoms: Confusion, severe diarrhoea, spreading photosensitive rash, jaundice, or weakness after high-dose supplements merits prompt medical review.
What a niacin test can—and cannot—show
A niacin test rarely gives a simple “vitamin B3 level.” Direct serum niacin measurement is uncommon, poorly standardized for everyday nutrition, and can change with a recent meal or supplement. In my clinical experience, suspected deficiency is assessed through symptoms, risk factors, urinary metabolites, and routine labs that explain why depletion developed.
Niacin is converted into NAD and NADP, coenzymes used in oxidation-reduction reactions throughout the body. A transient plasma concentration does not reliably show tissue stores, much as a single sip of water does not measure a person’s hydration over a week. Kantesti is an AI blood test analyzer that places related results—such as glucose, liver enzymes, albumin, and kidney function—into the clinical context a standalone vitamin number lacks.
Adults need 14 mg niacin equivalents (NE) daily for women and 16 mg NE daily for men; pregnancy raises the target to 18 mg NE/day and breastfeeding to 17 mg NE/day. One niacin equivalent is supplied by 1 mg preformed niacin or approximately 60 mg dietary tryptophan, which is why adequate protein intake can partly protect against deficiency.
A normal-looking routine blood panel does not exclude early dietary insufficiency, but a person eating normally with no rash, persistent diarrhoea, neurocognitive symptoms, alcohol dependence, malabsorption, or high-risk medication exposure seldom needs vitamin B3 levels checked. Dr. Thomas Klein’s practical rule is simple: test when the answer will alter the diagnostic work-up or treatment plan, not merely to create a number.
When clinicians consider niacin deficiency testing
Niacin deficiency testing is most useful when pellagra is plausible or when malnutrition and malabsorption are substantial. It is not part of routine wellness screening for asymptomatic adults with a varied diet.
Testing becomes reasonable with the classic pellagra cluster: symmetric sun-exposed dermatitis, persistent diarrhoea, and cognitive or mood change. The three features do not always arrive together; dermatitis and sore mouth may precede confusion by weeks. For an overview of other nutrient-related neurologic patterns, compare the veiledning for tiamin-testing.
Higher-risk settings include severe alcohol-use disorder, food insecurity, prolonged restrictive eating, active inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease, chronic diarrhoea, dialysis, and conditions that divert tryptophan metabolism, including carcinoid syndrome. I also think about B3 depletion after extensive gastrointestinal surgery or when a patient has been relying on maize as a dietary staple without traditional alkali processing.
Certain medicines change the pre-test probability rather than proving deficiency. Isoniazid kan svekke vitamin B6-avhengig omdanning av tryptofan til niacin, mens lange kurer med enkelte immundempende eller antimetabolittiske legemidler kan forsterke dårlig inntak. En medikamentliste, vektutvikling, alkoholinntakshistorikk og en 7-dagers matlogg er ofte mer diagnostisk verdifulle enn å bestille et bredt næringsstoffpanel.
Urine markers used for vitamin B3 status
Urin-N1-metylnikotinamid i løpet av 24 timer er den mest etablerte laboratoriemarkøren for nylig tilstrekkelig niacininntak. Svært lav utskillelse støtter uttømming, men testen må tolkes sammen med nyrefunksjon, prøvekvalitet ved innsamling, kosthold og kosttilskudd.
N1-metylnikotinamid, også kalt 1-MN eller NMN, er en urinniacinmetabolitt målt av utvalgte ernærings- og metabolittlaboratorier. Historiske folkehelsekriterier klassifiserer 24-timers utskillelse under 0,5 mg/dag som alvorlig mangel og 0,5–1,59 mg/dag som lav; 1,6 mg/dag eller mer er vanligvis forenlig med tilstrekkelig nylig tilgjengelighet. Et nøye utført Innsamling av døgnurin betyr mer enn en presist utseende, men ufullstendig prøve.
Noen laboratorier rapporterer 1-MN per gram urinkreatinin fra en punktprøve, noe som delvis bidrar til å korrigere for urindilutering. Denne justeringen har begrensninger: lav muskelmasse, akutt nyreskade, kronisk nyresykdom og en uvanlig fortynnet prøve kan alle forvrenge forholdet. Det finnes ingen universell grenseverdi for punkturin som kan erstatte laboratoriets egen referanseintervall.
Den beslektede metabolitten 2-pyridon kan måles sammen med 1-MN i forskningsorienterte analyser, og det kombinerte mønsteret kan forbedre kostholdsvurderingen. Hos en pasient med en eGFR under 30 ml/min/1,73 m² ville jeg være særlig forsiktig med å erklære mangel utelukkende basert på urinutskillelse; redusert clearance endrer det som når oppsamlingsbeholderen.
Which blood tests help when vitamin B3 is suspected
Blood tests in suspected vitamin B3 deficiency look for consequences and competing diagnoses, not a universally accepted niacin concentration. CBC, metabolic panel, albumin, glucose, inflammatory markers, and selected nutrient tests often produce the actionable information.
Whole-blood NAD and NADP measurements exist, but they are largely specialized or research assays with no harmonized adult reference range. A result can be affected by specimen handling because pyridine nucleotides degrade and redistribute after collection. That is why an isolated commercial “NAD level” should not be treated as a diagnostic test for pellagra.
A full blood count may show anaemia or macrocytosis from coexisting folate or B12 deficiency, while a low albumin can signal protein-energy undernutrition or systemic illness rather than niacin deficiency itself. A borderline B12 result deserves its own evaluation; see our guide to the B12 reference range.
Kantesti AI interprets uploaded routine panels by grouping nutrition-relevant findings rather than claiming that normal sodium, haemoglobin, or albumin rules out vitamin B3 deficiency. A low albumin, rising creatinine, low phosphate, and unexplained weight loss together are much more concerning than any one value alone—particularly in someone with months of diarrhoea.
Why pellagra diagnosis remains primarily clinical
Pellagra diagnosis is clinical because no single blood or urine result confirms or excludes it. Characteristic skin changes, gastrointestinal symptoms, neuropsychiatric symptoms, nutritional risk, and improvement after appropriate treatment carry more weight than a single metabolite result.
Pellagra dermatitis is typically symmetric, sharply demarcated, and worsens on sun-exposed or friction-prone areas. The neck distribution sometimes called Casal’s necklace, rough dorsal hands, and a painful red tongue are useful clues, although eczema, lupus, porphyria, zinc deficiency, and medication reactions can look similar. Hegyi, Schwartz, and Hegyi describe this diagnostic pattern in their 2004 review of pellagra (Hegyi et al., 2004).
Diarrhoea in pellagra can be intermittent rather than dramatic, and the neurological component may begin as irritability, poor concentration, insomnia, or depression before disorientation appears. I have seen patients labelled with “stress” for months when a careful nutrition history revealed substantial weight loss and an extremely narrow food repertoire.
Response to clinician-directed nicotinamide can support the diagnosis, but it should not end the search for the cause. Persistent diarrhoea, anaemia, or low ferritin after symptoms improve should trigger a malabsorption work-up; our article on faecal fat testing explains one route clinicians use when impaired fat and nutrient absorption is suspected.
What causes low vitamin B3 status
Low vitamin B3 status usually reflects inadequate intake, poor absorption, altered tryptophan metabolism, or substantial chronic illness. A low urine metabolite is a clue to investigate these mechanisms, not a final diagnosis.
Proteinfattige dietter kan senke niacinekvivalenter fordi tryptofan er en forløper for endogen niacinproduksjon. Den omtrentlige omdanningen er 60 mg tryptofan til 1 mg niacinekvivalent, men dette varierer med vitamin B6-status, energiinntak og sykdom. En person som får i seg tilstrekkelig med kalorier, men svært lite protein, kan derfor ha en annen risikoprofil enn noen med forbigående appetittnedsettelse.
Malabsorpsjon fortjener oppmerksomhet når lav B3-status opptrer sammen med kroniske løse avføringer, oppblåsthet, uforklarlig jernmangel eller vekttap. Cøliaki, Crohns sykdom, pankreasinsuffisiens og postoperativ kort tarm kan hver for seg redusere tilgjengeligheten av næringsstoffer; symptomer på dårlig fordøyelse tilsier en bredere fordøyelseslaboratoriegjennomgang.
Alkoholbruk kan senke inntaket, skade absorpsjonen og samtidig fortrenge andre næringsstoffer. Grunnen til at klinikere bekymrer seg for kombinasjonen lav fosfat, lav magnesium, lav kalium og nylig ernæringsoppstart, er reernæringsrisiko – ikke bare et manglende vitamin – så elektrolyttkorrigering og ernæringsstøtte må koordineres nøye.
How clinicians assess excess niacin exposure
Niacinoverskudd vurderes ut fra dose, formulering, symptomer og sikkerhetslaboratorieprøver – ikke fra en høy vitamin B3-blodverdi. Det meste av klinisk meningsfullt overskudd kommer fra tilskudd eller resepter med nikotinsyre i gramdoser, ikke fra mat.
Det øvre tolererbare inntaksnivået for voksne er 35 mg/dag med tilskudd av nikotinsyre, en terskel basert hovedsakelig på flushing; den gjelder ikke niacin som naturlig forekommer i mat. Reseptbelagte lipidregimer har historisk brukt 1 000–2 000 mg/dag, som er 29–57 ganger det øvre tilskuddsnivået og krever medisinsk oppfølging.
Flushing, varmefølelse, kløe, hodepine og svimmelhet oppstår ofte kort tid etter umiddelbart frisetting av nikotinsyre. Preparater med forlenget frisetting kan gi mindre flushing, men har en uforholdsmessig stor bekymring for hepatotoksisitet, og det er én av grunnene til at jeg råder pasienter til ikke å bytte formuleringer på egen hånd. Les mer om valg av tilskudd i vår sikkerhetsveiledning for tilskudd ved høyt kolesterol.
Kantesti er en AI-tolkingstjeneste for laboratorietester som flagger mønsteret av forhøyet ALT eller AST, endring i glukose, forhøyet urinsyre og rapportert eksponering for tilskudd i høydose som grunn til oppfølging hos kliniker. Den kan ikke avgjøre om en dose er passende for en enkeltperson eller erstatte medikamentovervåkning.
Safety labs to check with high-dose nicotinic acid
ALT, AST, bilirubin, fastende glukose eller HbA1c, urinsyre og noen ganger kreatinkinase er kjerneprøvene for sikkerhet ved høydose nikotinsyre. Intervaller for testing avhenger av dose, formulering, grunnsykdom, symptomer og forskriverens protokoll.
ALT- eller AST-verdier over tre ganger laboratoriets øvre referansegrense krever rask klinisk vurdering, særlig ved tretthet, kvalme, mørk urin, ubehag i øvre høyre del av magen eller gulsott. Bilirubin og alkalisk fosfatase bidrar til å skille hepatocellulære fra kolestatiske mønstre, mens GGT kan gi nyttig kontekst; se GGT-områder etter kjønn.
Nikotinsyre kan forverre insulinresistens og øke glukose, så en person med diabetes eller prediabetes trenger ofte at fastende glukose og HbA1c gjennomgås etter doseendringer. HbA1c gjenspeiler omtrent 8–12 weeks av glykemi; den vil ikke umiddelbart vise et problem fra et tilskudd som ble startet forrige tirsdag.
Høydose niacin kan øke urinsyre og utløse gikt hos mottakelige personer. Evidensen for å legge niacin til effektiv statinbehandling er ugunstig: AIM-HIGH-studien fant ingen ekstra kardiovaskulær gevinst, og HPS2-THRIVE fant flere alvorlige bivirkninger med forlenget frisetting av niacin pluss laropiprant (Boden et al., 2011; Landray et al., 2014).
Lab patterns that change the vitamin B3 work-up
En undersøkelse av vitamin B3 endrer retning når rutinetester tyder på underernæring, leversykdom, nyrepåvirkning, anemi eller aktiv gastrointestinalt tap. Mønsteret avgjør om urintesting er nyttig og hvilken spesialistvurdering som kommer neste.
Haemoglobin below the laboratory range with an MCV above 100 fL suggests macrocytosis, which more often points to B12, folate, alcohol exposure, liver disease, hypothyroidism, or medication effects than isolated niacin deficiency. That distinction prevents a common mistake: treating every nutrition-related rash with one vitamin while missing the broader deficiency pattern. Our haemoglobin result guide explains how CBC findings are read together.
Albumin under 35 g/L may support poor nutrition or protein loss but is also a negative acute-phase reactant, so it commonly falls during inflammation. I do not use albumin alone to label a patient malnourished; weight trajectory, dietary intake, CRP, liver synthetic function, and urine protein provide a more honest assessment.
Dr. Thomas Klein has found that a modest creatinine rise can be the hidden reason a urinary vitamin marker looks odd. When eGFR is reduced, a clinician may prioritize the metabolic panel, urinalysis, medication review, and nutrition history over repeating a specialized urine marker.
When diarrhoea and weight loss need broader testing
Chronic diarrhoea or unintentional weight loss alongside suspected niacin deficiency requires evaluation for the underlying gastrointestinal disorder. Vitamin replacement alone may improve symptoms temporarily while the actual absorptive problem continues.
Diarrhoea lasting more than 4 weeks is chronic and usually warrants a structured review, especially if it occurs with weight loss, nocturnal stools, anaemia, low albumin, fever, or visible blood. Coeliac serology, stool inflammatory markers, pancreatic elastase, infection tests, and endoscopy are chosen from the symptom pattern rather than ordered indiscriminately.
Pancreatic insufficiency is more likely when stools are bulky, greasy, difficult to flush, and associated with low body weight or fat-soluble vitamin deficits. A low stool elastase can help, although a watery stool may falsely lower it; our guide for fekal elastase covers this practical limitation.
A 38-year-old with chronic loose stools, a photosensitive rash, ferritin of 9 ng/mL, and albumin of 32 g/L needs a malabsorption evaluation even if a niacin supplement improves the rash within days. That combined pattern is more informative than a single B3 value and should not be written off as dietary preference.
How to prepare for urine or blood testing
Preparation for a niacin test depends on the assay, but preserving the real clinical picture is usually more useful than trying to “improve” the result. Do not stop prescribed treatment unless the ordering clinician specifically asks you to.
A 24-hour urine collection begins by discarding the first morning urine, then collecting every subsequent urine passed—including the next morning’s first sample—over the stated 24 hours. Missing even one substantial void can falsely lower total 1-MN excretion. Collection containers, refrigeration, and any preservative instructions are laboratory-specific.
Record all supplements for at least 7 dager before testing, including multivitamins, energy products, fortified drinks, “NAD boosters,” and lipid medicines. A same-day 500 mg nicotinic acid tablet may markedly affect a metabolite result but does not show whether the person had adequate status over the preceding month.
Fasting is not universally required for urinary 1-MN testing, but it may be required when glucose, lipids, or other safety markers are drawn simultaneously. Our guide to supplements before fasting blood work explains why biotin, minerals, and vitamin products can complicate some assays.
What to do with a low or unusual niacin result
A low urinary niacin metabolite should prompt confirmation of collection quality and a search for dietary, gastrointestinal, medication, alcohol-related, or renal explanations. It should not automatically lead to a high-dose supplement regimen.
An unexpectedly low 1-MN result with normal intake may reflect an incomplete collection, dilute or mishandled sample, low creatinine excretion, or kidney disease. A clinician may repeat the collection, use a laboratory-specific spot ratio, or proceed directly to treating a strongly suspected deficiency while investigating the cause. The BUN-to-creatinine ratio guide gives useful context for hydration and kidney-related lab interpretation.
An unusually high urinary metabolite result most often reflects recent niacin or niacinamide exposure. It is not a validated marker of “better cellular energy,” and it does not prove toxicity; toxicity is inferred from dose, symptoms, and safety labs such as transaminases, bilirubin, glucose, and uric acid.
Kantesti AI can compare lab results across visits and highlight whether ALT, HbA1c, uric acid, or eGFR shifted after a supplement was started. Our tilnærming til klinisk validering emphasizes that trend recognition is decision support, while the diagnosis and treatment decision remain with the treating clinician.
Treatment and retesting after suspected deficiency
Clinicians usually use nicotinamide rather than nicotinic acid to treat suspected pellagra because it corrects deficiency without the same flushing burden. Typical therapeutic regimens are clinician-directed and commonly total about 300 mg/day in divided doses, alongside nutrition and treatment of the cause.
Nicotinamide doses around 100 mg three times daily have historically been used for pellagra treatment, often for several weeks, but the correct dose and duration depend on severity, liver disease, kidney function, pregnancy, other deficiencies, and the presumed cause. This is not the same as starting over-the-counter nicotinic acid for cholesterol or energy.
Dermatitis, appetite, mouth soreness, and diarrhoea may begin improving within days when deficiency is the cause, whereas cognitive recovery can take longer and needs close observation. In severe malnutrition, thiamine, folate, B12, magnesium, phosphate, and potassium also need consideration; isolated vitamin treatment can miss clinically significant refeeding physiology.
Retesting is individualized. A repeat 24-hour 1-MN result may be useful after nutritional rehabilitation or when absorption remains uncertain, while weight, bowel frequency, skin findings, CBC, electrolytes, and albumin may be more useful objective markers. Our blood-test trend guide explains why a consistent laboratory and comparable timing improve follow-up.
Why consumer vitamin panels can mislead
A consumer panel that reports a “niacin level” may not diagnose deficiency, pellagra, or supplement toxicity unless its method and reference interval are clinically validated. The name of a biomarker is not enough; specimen type, analytic method, and intended use matter.
Serum, plasma, whole blood, and urine measure different biological compartments and cannot be interpreted using interchangeable targets. A sample collected after a fortified drink or B-complex capsule may show recent exposure rather than cellular adequacy. That distinction is especially relevant for NAD-related commercial assays, which remain difficult to standardize across laboratories.
Before acting on an out-of-range result, ask three questions: What molecule was measured? What specimen was used? What condition has this assay been validated to detect? For a broader explanation of laboratory flags and reference intervals, review what “out of range” means.
Kantesti’s neural network reads the laboratory name, units, reference interval, collection date, and related conventional markers before generating an explanation. Kantesti is an AI-powered blood test analysis tool designed to make reports easier to discuss with a clinician; it does not convert an experimental wellness marker into a medical diagnosis.
When symptoms need urgent care rather than more testing
Confusion, fainting, inability to keep fluids down, jaundice, severe weakness, or rapidly worsening diarrhoea requires urgent medical assessment rather than waiting for a niacin test. These symptoms can reflect dehydration, liver injury, electrolyte disturbance, infection, neurological illness, or severe malnutrition.
Jaundice or dark urine after high-dose nicotinic acid is a same-day concern, especially with nausea, abdominal discomfort, or an ALT/AST elevation. Stop non-prescribed supplements until reviewed, but do not stop prescribed medicines without speaking to the prescriber or urgent-care team. Our guide to when bilirubin needs attention describes the warning pattern.
Confusion with diarrhoea can develop from sodium, potassium, magnesium, glucose, kidney, or liver abnormalities even when pellagra is being considered. A basic metabolic panel, glucose check, CBC, liver tests, and hydration assessment may be more urgent than specialized metabolite testing. This is one of those situations where clinical examination genuinely changes the meaning of the numbers.
As of July 30, 2026, my advice is to use specialized B3 testing selectively and keep the diagnostic question clear: deficiency, excess exposure, or a cause of malnutrition. Kantesti is an AI biomarker interpretation platform that helps organize conventional lab patterns for discussion with clinicians, supported by our medisinske rådgivende styre; it is not an emergency service or a substitute for in-person care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Finnes det en blodprøve for niacinmangel?
Det finnes ingen bredt standardisert rutineblodprøve som pålitelig diagnostiserer niacinsvikt i daglig praksis. Spesialiserte laboratorier kan måle helblod NAD/NADP eller plasmaniacinrelaterte forbindelser, men referanseintervaller og kliniske grenseverdier er ikke harmonisert. En 24-timers urinprøve for N1-metylnikotinamid er mer etablert for nylig niacinstatus, der utskillelse under 0,5 mg/døgn støtter alvorlig uttømming når innsamlingen er komplett. Klinikerne stiller fortsatt diagnosen pellagra primært basert på symptomer, kosthold, risikofaktorer og respons på behandling.
Hva er et normalt resultat av en niacintest?
For en 24-timers urinanalyse av N1-metylnikotinamid, anses utskillelse på minst 1,6 mg/døgn, omtrent 10,1 µmol/døgn, generelt som forenlig med tilstrekkelig nylig tilgang på niacin i historiske ernæringskriterier. Resultater på 0,5–1,59 mg/døgn er lave, mens verdier under 0,5 mg/døgn støtter alvorlig mangel. Laboratorier kan bruke ulike analytiske metoder og referanseintervaller, særlig for punkturinprøver normalisert til kreatinin. Et normalt resultat utelukker ikke i seg selv pellagra når symptomer og risikofaktorer er overbevisende.
Kan et multivitamin påvirke en niacintest?
Ja, et multivitamin som inneholder 14–20 mg niacin kan øke utskillelsen av nylig urinskein metabolitter og kan få en mangeltest til å virke mer betryggende enn det langsiktige ernæringsbildet. Et produkt med 500 mg nikotinsyre eller niacinamid kan ha en mye større effekt fordi det tilfører mer enn 14 ganger det voksne tilskudds-øvre inntaksnivået på 35 mg/dag. Pasienter bør oppgi for klinikeren og laboratoriet alle vitaminer, energiprodukter, berikede drikker og foreskrevne lipidsenkende legemidler. Ikke stopp foreskrevet behandling før testing med mindre den rekvirerende klinikeren råder til det.
Hvordan diagnostiserer leger pellagra?
Leger stiller diagnosen pellagra ut fra et forenlig klinisk mønster: fotosensitiv symmetrisk dermatitt, diaré eller smertefulle munnsymptomer, nevropsykiatriske forandringer og en sykehistorie som tyder på utilstrekkelig inntak eller opptak av niacin. Urinens N1-metylnikotinamid under 0,5 mg/døgn kan støtte alvorlig uttømming, men det er ikke en definitiv, uavhengig diagnostisk test. Vurderingen utelukker også differensialdiagnoser som sinkmangel, lupus, porfyri, cøliaki, inflammatorisk tarmsykdom og medikamentreaksjoner. Forbedring etter veiledet behandling med nikotinamid gir ytterligere støtte til diagnosen.
Hvilke laboratorieprøver bør overvåkes ved høydose niacin?
Personer som bruker farmakologisk nikotinsyre, vanligvis 1 000–2 000 mg/dag, overvåkes vanligvis med ALT, AST, bilirubin, fastende glukose eller HbA1c, og urinsyre. Kreatinkinase kan legges til når muskelsmerter eller -svakhet oppstår, særlig hvis et statin også brukes. ALT eller AST over tre ganger laboratoriets øvre referansegrense, spesielt ved gulsott eller mørk urin, krever rask medisinsk vurdering. Høy serumkonsentrasjon av niacin er ikke standard sikkerhetstest for toksisitet.
Kan for mye niacin skade leveren?
Ja, høydose nikotinsyre kan forårsake klinisk signifikant leverskade, der formuleringer med forlenget frigjøring er særlig bekymringsfulle. Risikoen er generelt knyttet til doser som ligger langt over kostbehovet, ofte 1 000 mg/dag eller mer, snarere enn niacin fra mat. Advarselstegn omfatter kvalme, uttalt tretthet, ubehag i øvre høyre del av magen, mørk urin og gule øyne eller hud; forhøyede leverenzymverdier kan forekomme før symptomene. Alle som tar et ikke-foreskrevet høydoseprodukt bør diskutere dette med en lege/kliniker i stedet for å øke dosen eller endre formuleringen uavhengig.
