Niacinamide for LOWERING phosphorus- CKD?

[Krystina & Nelli]

Niacinamide.
I just read this was given to bring Phosphorus down without changing to low Pho’s diet... any *others* have experience or knowledge with this? @Marje and Gracie your input will be appreciated

Well that wouldn’t be me Using Niacinamide for CKD has come up since I had my last CKD cat (2013). Helen does discuss it on Tanya’s. If you are on FB, there is a CKD group there, too, and they would be a good resource.

sorry.......

I used it successfully with my kitty. Phos went from 6.1 to 4.6 in two weeks. She’s able to eat Friskies and fancy feast with no issues. I give her 125 mg twice a day. Buy the Jarrow brand on Amazon

You’re very welcome! Missy was on aluminum hydroxide for a long time but it caused constipation and her phos never went below 5; it tended to hover around 6-6.3

Hi,
Getting ready to try Niacinamide- A little bit stressed out trying to figure out correct starting dose. I’ve read of toxicity so want to be careful I don’t give her too much, at same time want it to be as effective as possible. I also am reading that dosage is weight specific? Nelli is 15 1/2 pounds I was wondering what Missy’s weight is?

Missy just passed a few days ago but she was about 6.5 lbs. It’s not weight specific. 250mg twice a day to bring down high phos levels rapidly (within 2 weeks) but you can do 125mg twice a day if you feel more comfortable. It will just take a bit longer I think, although I saw results quickly even at that amount.

I’m so sorry, honey. Bad timing on my part :-|
Be well... dam it this has to be sooooo, so tough!

Thank you so much for responding to me from the get go, on my Niacinamide shout out- you really truly did make my (dark) day (turned bright), that day
