10 Side Effects of Niacin
Niacin Side Effect #8: Diarrhea
Our digestive system needs a certain amount of time to be able to extract the nutrition and water that it needs. If it is not given the time it needs then it will not get enough nutrients and will also not get enough water. This can result in watery stools in what we know as diarrhea. It can also lead to some very awkward instances of the patient struggling to make it to the bathroom in time.
Diarrhea is a fairly common symptom associated with niacin usage. While it is not usually something to worry about in itself, it can lead to dehydration and nutritional problems if it persists.
