Strange & Weird Niacin (B3) Deficiency Signs and Symptoms

[@FSTECVBDXC]

I was suffering from skin allergies and low energy my whole life until this year.. By the age of 30, I’ve tried all prescribed medications and vitamins, but nothing worked. My life was a pure suffering until one day I read a story about Niacin deficiency. (The doctors never checked for this, this is so stupid!) I bought a bottle of Niacin from Pure encapsulation because i was desperate to try anything. It was a shot in the dark, but it worked within a few days! I am shocked ! I have no brain fogs or allergic reactions anymore! I thought I will never feel normal again and now I am doing good! I am so glad I did not give up searching for an answer. Thank God. It is not bad to start a new life at 30

[@hamster1zombie170]

Congrats on finding life changing benefits from Niacin...I have similar skin allergies for what seems like i have lived with for an eternity 🫤Def going to try it..thanks for your story ✋🏼👍🏻

[@El.Espartano]

I am happy for you man. Man a couple of questions. Do you have a link of the product ? Did you have some intestinal problems too or only skin issues ? Did you have eccema or only allergies ?

[@FSTECVBDXC]

@@El.Espartano Thanks! I tried posting a link, but KZbin does not let me to post it. It is strange, but ok. I buy Niacin on Pure Encapsulations official website. The name of the product is Niacinamide. I had eczema on my hands, arms, and legs. Also, sometimes, I had temporary allergic reactions around my eyes and mouth. It started when I was 5 years old. I did not have any intestinal issues, but I was always sleepy. I had no energy to live normally. It is not very common to have this type of deficiency, I am still trying to understand why I have it

In the book Niacin The Real Story, I found out all what Niacin can do. For many times, I wasn't able to raise my HDL and reduce my LDL. Well, with 3g of niacin, 2g of Omega 3 and 6g of vitamin C per day, I could achieve it.. Ovoid statins, orthomolecular is the way.. Thanks for your videos, Dr. Berg.

I take 4gms a day, never heard of anyone taking close to what I do. My blood work is fantastic at age 50, doc said comparable to a 30yo. I shall be taking it in huge doses for the rest of my days, buy it in huge bags never want to run out!

[@homomorphic]

Your videos are so useful for me. I go into a lot of these "deficiency" videos thinking that I am fine (most of the time I am) but every once in a while there is one like this where you point out the major sources and the issue of chronic deficit, and I realise I am very likely to be chronically deficient (my current diet has enough b3, but my previously poor diet that I corrected about 9 months ago) probably left me with low b3 (and although I am now getting enough for maintainance I very likely need ro supplement for a while to erase the long term deficit). Just because one begins eating a healthy diet, it doesn't mean there can't be chronic deficits from the previous diet that won't be erased by the new diet alone. A healthy diet is able to maintain nutrients (otherwise it isn't a healthy diet), but it can't necessarily provide sufficient quantities of certain nutrients to correct a previous deficit.

Excellent Video! Commentary: Niacin also appears to be helpful for Post Covid Long Haul Syndrome and Bile Acid Malabsorption (BAM). Tip: Another form of "flush-free" Niacin is called Inositol Hexanicotinate. Gradually increasing the dose until mega-dosing is achieved is sometimes necessary. In addition to Niacin, some individuals may strongly benefit by adding R-5-P (Coenzymated Vitamin B2), Pantothenic Acid (B5), and additional B vitamins. If you have been deficient for a long time, it may take a long time to recover. Patience is necessary.

[@aaronwcummings6195]

This is what I have been searching for in regards to Long Covid!!

[@Music-gr2wf]

Niacin plays a huge role on post COVID syndrome. I was a victim of it and I used up to 12g (12000mg) nicotinic acid a day to get rid of most symptoms, plus B complex and melatonin, aminoacids (glutamine, taurine, tryptophan, tyrosine, BCAAs, glycine, arginine, Lysine), probiotics, zinc+copper+selenium and lots of Ascorbic acid. Lugol's iodine separate from everything else. Everything must be in high doses because of huge deficiencies created by COVID.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Sharing Dr Berg notes here: If you have a niacin deficiency, you might experience the “4 D's”: dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and even death. Subclinical symptoms of a niacin deficiency include the following: • Loss of taste • Metallic/rancid taste in the mouth • Loss of smell/change in smell • Face moves when you look in the mirror • Words move when you read • Unstable or moving ground when walking • Fatigue • Inability to relax You need large amounts of niacin to address a deficiency. You can take either niacin or niacinamide. Niacin is a precursor to NAD, (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) which helps extract electrons from foods. This allows you to get more energy from the food that you eat. Vitamin B3 helps support something known as sirtuins, which support longevity and DNA repair. L-tryptophan can convert to niacin, serotonin, and melatonin! Niacin is very beneficial for skin health and conditions like acne and psoriasis. A niacin deficiency can cause very dry, scaly skin. The form of niacin known as niacinamide can help with inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Niacin also supports healthy levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol. It was very popular before the development of statins. Animal protein and organ meats are the best sources of niacin. You can also get niacin from spirulina and nutritional yeast, but look for nutritional yeast that does not have added synthetic vitamins. There is a tremendous amount of research on niacin and cholesterol, the heart, and mood disorders like schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. A diet high in ultra-processed foods can lead to a niacin deficiency. Pregnancy, alcoholism, Covid-19, and certain medications can also contribute to a niacin deficiency. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

Flushing, YA! Severe and Scary at first because I didn't know what was happening, once I discovered it was the Niacin I reduced the dose to a very small amount and even then still Flushing.

Get off the plants/veggies. Eat meat and fat and feel better. Plant defense chemicals affect mental health way more than we’re told by corrupt medicine. Only way to know is to do an elimination diet. Beef eggs salt butter and bacon. Chicken is okay but it’s so lean so add some fat (no veggie oils).

I started taking Niacin (500mg) about a week ago to help my cholesterol. I immediately felt the prickly redness running down my arms, seemingly working on a 5-year bicep tendonitis issue etc. I've been struggling with. I can't explain it, but physio, chiro, osteo hasn't helped and it feels like a nerve pain no pain reliever will dull. I am floored that my arm pain is about 85% better and with each dose is improving. Tonight though I'm halving the dose as with our extreme summer heat, the prickly redness was a 90 min. bother last night. Thank you.

The flushing niacin (nicotinic acid) at only 100mg several times a day really helped me energy and weight management. I was able to drop an expensive Nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplement and get better results. Niacinamide does nothing for me and I think a lot of people are like this. It is said to be a defect in the "niacin salvage" pathway.

Niacinamide is great for Arthritis. I take 1500 mg twice daily for lower spinal arthritis. You must take it daily forever to have success and it may take 6 months to a year depending on how advanced your arthritis condition is. But it does work. I use Source Naturals but any brand is fine.

Because of Dr. Berg I take B3 everyday and am used to the flush, feels like Drano for my veins :) ' along with all the vitamins Dr. Berg recommends for a 67 year old man. Though the cardiologist has me taking Entresto 2 times a day I am searching for a natural source to replace it. She had me taking other meds I had to stop from side effects as everyone's system is different. Instead of a statin I drink a whole red onion along with lemon ginger and tumeric carrot beet and cabbage all juiced with black pepper and cyanine pepper. I only eat veggies 4 days a week, no sugar at all and no salt. :)
