Experiences with

Niacin

I have read recently that Niacin is beneficial for PD. I have also read it is not good for PD. Can anyone speak to their experience with Niacin?

Our evidence indicates that blood analysis is useful in identifying NAD + deficiency and points niacin to be an efficient NAD + booster for treating mitochondrial myopathy" So...

turned its back on Nicotinic Acid: Go here: The Niacin Rebirth: Revisiting the Potential of Nicotinic Acid Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease and Niacin Supplementation for Healthy Aging https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/5521 Then right under the title on the left is a link to read

For every 10 mg increase in dietary niacin intake, the risk of PD was reduced by 23%."

It was niacin at 500mg I took on the 19th feb. Before that my lows were 10,9,11,10,12,10 etc. I will update this post once my levels normalise but that's 3 weeks of lows from 1 high dose of niacin.

†[/i] [i]Niacin: A small dose of niacin (20–50 mg, 2-3 times daily) can help by "eating up" the excess methyl groups that might be causing your homocysteine imbalance. You may find support by including niacin as part of your regimen for temporary methylation balance.

I read somewhere that excess Niacin gets methylated. Firstly, how much can be termed as excess? Secondly, doesn't it mean that it will deplete methyl groups, which would otherwise be used for repair functions? All thoughts appreciated...

I have a Question, does Glaugoma UK still reccamend Niacin Vit B3 for Glaucoma? Thankyou Bernie Cushing

So what is the latest with niacin? I only take Tru Niagen, but I’ve read multiple posts about niacin, nicotinamide, etc. Does anyone have an idea of which is best for slowing PD progression? I feel a bit overwhelmed with the surfeit of data! Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I have had positive results taking Niacin. I used to take Betaine and then switched to NAD and the Niacin is more effective than the other two. My current regime is complicated and very fluid as I adjust to everything.

I have started taking C/L, GlyNAC and Niacin. I am stuck in trying fast walking, B2, B1, B-Complex, GlyNAC, Melatonin, Niacin, OMAD, Ketosis, Exercise, Breathing, Yoga, Tai Chi and other therapies. What to do and which diet to follow?

Thought quite interesting https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2024.1387802/abstract I am big believer in Niacin but currently having to back down from 3 grams per day because of elevating fasting blood sugar.

ago that B complex can be quite stimulating to many, and after taking mine daily for years and doing a little research, I realised there could well be a link in there being too higher dosage of one of the BVits that probably doesn't suit me that well and could be contributing to my anxiety eg the Niacin

I also suffer from tremors and vertigo for which I take betahistine and like to take full flush niacin for cholesterol and it's other benefits. In other words my histamine levels are all over the shop. So, interesting. I wonder has anyone suffered 'hot foot' as a parallel or previous condition.

Looked online and found Niacin can be a factor in flushing. Also the B supplement seemed to cause more frequent urination. On the very helpful B supplement chart Homocystix Plus does not contain Niacin. But does have other B bits.

Also, I started taking niacin 500mg daily for my cholesterol. Niacin will cause insulin resistance for about 6 months, and I was going to take berberine to counteract that as it has been shown to decrease insulin and HbA1c.
