Experiences with

Niacin

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

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 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.

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.

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 take one from cytoplasm where it’s 16mg, I wonder if this is ok 🤔 https://www.newscientist.com/article/2417665-niacin-supplements-linked-to-greater-risk-of-heart-attacks-and-strokes/ [ Link edited to remove potentially personally identifying information. ]

Once I started the b complex omg they went though the roof, every 15 mins half an hour very intense flush so I looked into what was in the b complex and it it turns out B3 Niacin can cause flushing.

Also had sensativity test niacin and t3 unbalanced hence blood test. Sorry for long post appreciate help, thank you.

I have done a month of vit D , month of B12, first active iron 25mg, still on it and 2 weeks of b complex but had to come off it for reasons of mad flushes due to niacin and crazy weight gain, restless legs, insomnia and anxiousness.

The only thing that I have changed is I increased my niacin to 750mg from 500 and stopped my 3000mg fish oil (couldn't afford it). I know fish oil can lower blood pressure but it did not seem to lower mine while I was taking it. Also started Iron bisglyciante 100mg every other day.

Niacin (B3) Niacin helps to smooth dry and flaky skin. It can be found mostly in meats, poultry, fish and legumes. But also in mushrooms, squash, green peas, leafy greens, and spelt grains. 9. Selenium Selenium also helps to counter the effects of sun damage, smoking exposure and pollution.

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.

So, I started taking before bed. Not only better sleep, the Flush helps me go to sleep.
