Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2021
The reason I chose to purchase this is because I have had pulsatile tinnitus for over two years. I had an MRA, MRI, CT scan and saw an ENT. Nobody was able to help, or knew why I had it, and I was left with needing to live with it.
I decided to give niacin a try because one reason a person can have pulsatile tinnitus is because of an issue with the blood vessel.
After trying this, and feeling what all the one star reviewers felt, (feeling like I needed to go to the ER because something was seriously wrong) my pulsatile tinnitus went away for the first time in over two years!
I decided this could be a placebo effect so I gave it some time to post a review. But, after over a month with no pulsatile tinnitus, I think it’s safe to say, niacin cured me!
*Update- it has been almost two years and my pulsatile tinnitus is still gone!
