Template:ScientologySeries Dianazene was the name given by L. Ron Hubbard to a vitamin supplement containing iron, Vitamin C, and various B vitamins, including especially large doses of niacin. Hubbard promoted it as a form of protection against radiation poisoning during the 1950s, saying that "Dianazene runs out radiation - or what appears to be radiation. It also proofs a person against radiation in some degree. It also turns on and runs out incipient cancer."
In 1958, the Food and Drug Administration seized from a Scientology company, the Distribution Center, and destroyed, 21,000 Dianazene tablets because they were falsely labelled as a preventative and treatment for radiation sickness.
Dianazene also plays a large role in the Narconon program, where it is similarly claimed that the large quantities of niacin in the compound, combined with the heat in a sauna, can "purify" the body by allowing it to "handle radiation".
Ingredients
A standard dose of Dianazene contains the following ingredients:
- Vitamin B3 (Niacin): 200 mg
- Iron (Ferrous gluconate): 10 g
- Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): 25 mg
- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): 50 mg
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid): 200-500 mg
- Calcium (Dicalcium phosphate): 15-20 g
