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
