Yes I take a little niacin, not megadoses. A few scoops with a tiny generic scoop labelled "10-15mg"Good luck with it. Are you doing any other interventions like niacin or collagen or the spray?

Yes I do some sports, never have had an injury (on a knee) before, but got one a few months ago, which lasts. X-rays showed weak knee cartilage.@grapes sorry to hear. Are you doing any physical exercise or had existing injuries to your knees, or it just came out of nowhere?
Did you see the latest update from ggenereux ?Another small update:
- my dry eyes seem to be getting worse - is it possible that this is some sort of detox event, and that they will get worse before they get better?
- had 100mg nicotinic acid yesterday, didn't do anything for me. today i had 100mg nicotinic acid and chased it with an apple juice and BAM it was intense, almost took the afternoon off work. When i went to wash my hair i had a massive shed. What gives with that? I'm thinking maybe i'm better off with just some activated charcoal in the first week and then just doing the low vit A and collagen...
Did you know that foods are fortified with Niacinamide the toxic form of Niacin?Did you see the latest update from ggenereux ?
Niacin: Is it another bogus vitamin?
So we should all quit niacinamide, and find a clean Niacin instead? Have not followed this tread, but it makes me immediately think: "what about all the posted studies, regarding the benefits of Niacinamide?"Did you know that foods are fortified with Niacinamide the toxic form of Niacin?

Niacin: Is it another bogus vitamin?
Thanks.It's not like there aren't benefits. Hoffer treated schizophrenia and other problems like depression sucessfully with niacinamide. But it has some serious downsides compared to niacin. Niacin has benefits like boosting phase 2, instead of slowing down phase 1, supporting regeneration, not harming the liver, and supporting detox overall.
I like his general attitude of questioning synthetic chemicals. No food should be fortified with anything. The idea of sodium bicarbonate as neutralizing retinoic acid is interesting.
His bread not only had niacinamide but also iron, ascorbic acid, thiamine and folic acid. Sadly, he doesn't even try to test his ideas on himself, for example by taking plain niacin and seeing what happens.
I assume by his limited diet he has made his body extremely sensitive to all kinds of things, as he is missing out on several important nutrients like potassium.
His approach of looking for downsides of chemicals and then defining them as toxic instead of healthy is not helpful. Everything in life comes with risks and potential downsides, depending on context.
If he would look into the history of niacin and pellagra, he would quickly realize that niacin is essential for life.
Yes, it's way better than niacinamide for this. The vasodilation and other effects make it neuroprotective.Could niacin be better for concusion than niacinamide?
Great thanks.Yes, it's way better than niacinamide for this. The vasodilation and other effects make it neuroprotective.
Fase 1 and fase 2, I dont even know about that....It's not like there aren't benefits. Hoffer treated schizophrenia and other problems like depression sucessfully with niacinamide.

My girlfriend will be glad to hear this, she suffers from concussion.
Any prefered daily intake?
500 mg?
Yes, she has issues.The usual dose people start with to get pharmacological effects is 500mg three times per day.
You mean she has some kind of chronic concussion issue? CO2 baths and thiamin could also be helpful.
Thanks, very useful.
yes, and given that his strategy has worked for him i may just go with that. being the vain person that i am, i'd rather not lose my hair. and i work full time and can't afford massive dips in energy.Did you see the latest update from ggenereux ?
