Vitamin B3 (niacin) benefits - NEW

Therapeutic doses of Niacin for hyperlipidaemia have pro oxidant properties rather than antioxidant and increases undesirable homocysteine and decreases important vitamins B1,B6,B9 & B12 these should be taken together to prevent an imbalance.

I'm glad to be the first to comment these time. I just one say thank you very much Dr as usual it's very detailed and informative.

I love the flush

Thank you, Sir

I like the niacin flushing.

Dear Doctor, I have been taking niacin nicotinic acid 500mg flush almost daily a few months now. It's like im aging backwards!! To be frank i never had wrinkles and my skin is naturally elastic but this stuff makes me feel like a teenager! I am looking younger than i did at 19. This is the best kept secret. I started taking it for high blood pressure to prevent CVD but OMG i will never stop! The flush is uncomfortable but doesnt last long and when i stick to it daily it is very mild. I can feel the blood rushing where its needed, especially the head and neck, arms and even my genitals and anus. They keep this a secret cos it's the cheapest route to optimal health! The only side effect was intense period pains that took me back to my teenage years but as soon as i took my chinese herbs (that got rid of all period pain and other issues yeArs ago) that went away too. It's the increased prostaglandins that caused it but i balanced that out with the chinese stuff.

Thanks

Thank you again I take NMN daily for its NAD boosting

This is one of my go to supplements

You should do a video on NR and NMN!

Thank you for the update. There was a report about a month ago about a connection between Nacin B3 and CHD> Has there been any update regarding this?

Can you comment on the recent study that indicated niacin was bad for circulatory system?

Hi David, isn't NR Nicotamide Riboside also derived from B3? Is niacin B3 similar in effect regarding ATP production but cheaper?

Hello.. Are there alternatives or natural supplements that have the same effect as SNRIs, norepinephrine inhibitors?

Prolonged Release or Extended release Niacine are the same or they have deferent effects? Which Niacin more safe for your liver? Thank you.

I have this brand for extended release that is in a "wax matrix" to slowly release like you mentioned. I did not know the slow release is bad for the liver. The dose isn't high. I also thought the flush free form is not the same. Isn't the flushing a benefit for some issues? Just maybe not in such a way where you physically itch. This was info half from the Paul stamets people and nootropic community. I don't really trust Paul stamets anymore after a lot of his theories didn't add up. So what niacin form and dose would you suggest for people with sleep issues due to depression or anxiety?

Thx for updated info from my favorite Supps n Nootropic man David Tomen! Question: How much mg Inositol hexanicotinate (IH) should I take minimum to maximum to have a sufficient benefit while avoiding liver damage? I don’t have liver damage but a bit NAFLD, like so many.

How do you figure how much?

The flush makes me itch everywhere and I look sunburned. I have the MTHFR gene and too much histamine.

The no flush niacin did not help. Only the regular niacin helped my stiff joints and anxiety. Just fyi.
