    **********************************************
    In this video you'll discover the nootropics benefits of Vitamin B3 (Niacin). Including why we use Niacin as a nootropic, recommended dosage, side effects, preventing niacin flushing, clinical research, and the best type of Niacin to buy. This is an update to the video I made on Niacin several years ago.
    Vitamin B3 (Niacin, nicotinic acid) is is one of eight B-Vitamins. Niacin as a precursor to NAD and NADH repairs cell and DNA damage. And stimulates your immune system.
    Niacin boosts the production of Nitric Oxide (NO) which relaxes blood vessels in your brain increasing brain blood flow. And niacin acts as an antioxidant helping to eliminate free radicals that can damage brain cells.
    As a precursor to NADH, niacin provides electrons for ATP synthesis within our mitochondria for cellular energy. Low levels of niacin result in brain fog, slow mental processing, and cognitive decline.
    Niacin affects cognitive function by stimulating the production of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin.
    Neurohackers report Niacin helps to reduce skin inflammation, flare ups, irritation, redness and for treating severe cases of acne.
    Niacin is also used for treating and to help prevent schizophrenia.
    And Niacin is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) because it acts as a vasodilator.

    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.

    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.

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      I saw it as well. But the article did not point to a peer-reviewed clinical study backing up this guy's claims. There was no "proof".

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

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Those are simply marketing terms. Look at the Supplement Facts label on the back to find out what form of niacin it is. And then compare that my "Side Effects" section in the above video.

  • @thomaskingschillerlein7843
    @thomaskingschillerlein7843 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    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.

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have not come across any studies showing liver damage from using Inositol hexanicotinate. But like any supplement it does not make any sense to over dose. There is no benefit to use more than the recommended dose. For IH, I suggest 500 mg 3-times per day.

  • @XenoTravis
    @XenoTravis 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    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?

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I personally use 500 mg niacinamide 3-times per day and it works for me. And I have liver issues that are genetic so keep an eye on my numbers. So far this form has not been a problem.

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

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

  • @juliad2872
    @juliad2872 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I started taking Niacin 100mg, 4x a day a few days ago. On the 3rd day I started getting muscle pains in my legs and then my arms and back too on the fourth day. Stopped taking and pain is gone. This seems to be a rare effect. Too bad I was hopeful for the benefits :(

    • @juliad2872
      @juliad2872 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Side note is that when I've taken NR nicotinamide riboside, I never had pain.

  • @julianjuarez3805
    @julianjuarez3805 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Is 500mg safe for slight to moderate fibrosis of the liver. 500mg of Niacin

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Julian, 500 mg of niacin up to 3-times per day are safe for 'most' people. But recent studies have found that even 500 mg is not safe for some people. So best to keep a close eye and monitor your liver numbers just to be safe.

  • @raloufen4292
    @raloufen4292 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    How do you figure how much?

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It depends on the individual. We know which form of niacin has an upper limit to reach toxicity. And this works for 'most' people. But each of us is different.
      To be on the side you'll get all the niacin your system needs at 50 mg twice per day or regular niacin.

  • @aperilla67
    @aperilla67 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I've tried both flushing and non flushing. I love the flush but I do not get the immediate relief to my RA as I do from the Non flushing version. I feel quick relief from niacinamide 500mg within an hour or two. Is there anything i should be careful with taking this twice a day. I also have a naturopath and a rheumatologist but neither really have much say on the niacinamide

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      You can use up to 3 grams per day of Niacinamide.

      Thank you. And you are NOT using "too many" supplements. If it works for you then you are taking exactly what you need to be taking. Your life is all the proof you need.

  • @dkp2112
    @dkp2112 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I’m confused. I should take 4 grams for LDL treatment but more than 3 grams can cause liver toxicity?

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Use Inositol hexanicotinate and it's not toxic to your liver.

  • @tonynewman777
    @tonynewman777 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Each time I take it for a while and stop it gets more intense this last one was a lot of Flushing same 500 mg. Is that some kind of indicator of my health or my body just don't like it??? Cut the pill in half and take an ibuprofen. I'm talking about real intense Flushing turn red itching and felt in areas it had reached also on the decline very thirsty.

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Tony, I explain the cause of this niacin flush in the video above. This is different from person to person. I get a niacin flush with any dose above 50 mg.

    • @tendr247
      @tendr247 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hi, you are saying to get 25mg per kg for newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, what does that mean for someone who's 76kg? Is it 25mg for each kg a day, would be 1.900g per day? Or not?

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It depends on the form of niacin you are using, Most forms above 1,500 mg per day are toxic to your liver. Use niacinamide or inositol hexanicotinate 500 mg 3-times per day.

      (IH)

    • @NootropicsExpert
      @NootropicsExpert  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Inositol hexanicotinate (IH) is an “extended-release niacin” sold as “Flush Free Niacin” and has 6 molecules of niacin covalently bonded to one molecule of inositol. The IH version of niacin does not produce a flushing effect. Studies show that an average of 70% of the dose you take gets absorbed by your body.
      Studies show that the benefits to lowering bad cholesterol with the IH form of niacin are not nearly as effective as free-from niacin. But user reviews are the opposite of these clinical findings. No toxicity is associated with high doses of IH.
