Dr. Eric Berg DC says the juice contains lactic acid, friendly yeast, and vitamin U that support gut lining and microbiome.

ADVICE

Split Niacin Doses To Fast Safely

Do take niacin in small split doses during a fast and you do not need food to absorb it.
Crush tablets and spread ~100 mg amounts through the day to reduce flushing while maintaining effect.
