    A single, low dose niacinamide drops triglycerides by 75%

    Among the vitamin B3 analogs, niacin is perhaps the most famous for its ability to both raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) and also lower triglycerides. However, niacinamide, nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) are all effective precursors to NAD (as niacin is) and...

    Cancer relies on fat as fuel due to high reductive stress

    One of the few studies out there that not only links cancer with impaired OXPHOS, but demonstrates directly the role of reductive stress (exemplified by the NAD/NADH ratio) in cancer's appetite for fats as fuel required for the cancer survival and proliferation/metastasis. It also once again...

    Niacinamide increases ATP/NAD, lower glucose/cortisol in humans

    A great new study demonstrating for the first time in a human experiment what hundreds of animal studies had suggested in the past. Namely, that niacinamide can serve as a reliable precursor to NAD+ and by raising the NAD/NADH ratio results in improved glucose metabolism and higher ATP levels...

    Low-dose niacinamide has striking anti-obesity effects

    It looks like the medical world has firmly set its sights on the bioenergetic wave/target, as the number of scientific papers focusing on niacinamide, NAD/NADH ratio and OXPHOS in general has been steadily climbing since 2010. That would be good news, despite the attempts of companies such as...

    Age-related steroid deficiency may be treatable with niacinamide

    The study is actually about eye health, and the effects androgens play in it. However, the findings are not limited to the eyes and are in fact applicable for any other tissue/organ experiencing a decline in steroidogenesis with advancing age, which is basically all of them. As such, I am...

    Alcohol Causes Liver (and Other Organ) Damage By Lowering NAD/NADH Ratio

Namely, alcohol-related morbidity and mortality. Those have always been an issue in any developed country but since the...

    5-Amino-1MQ Increases Energy, Fat Loss & Strength

    What is 5-AMINO-1MQ This compound is a small, selective membrane permeable molecule that blocks the NNMT enzyme. As fat cells grow larger, they begin to overproduce an enzyme called NNMT. NNMT = Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. This enzyme acts to slow down fat cell metabolism (fat burning)...

    Vitamin B3 May Treat "incurable" Muscle Disease

    Over the last 2-3 years I have seen a dramatic increase in the number of studies and popular press articles using the keywords "controversial", "paradox", "paradigm shift", "ameliorates an incurable condition X", etc. This is just a thinly veiled attempt to mask the collapse of the corrupt dogma...

At this point, even mainstream medicine admits that every function of the organism requires energy, so it would be plausible to expect an organism with...

    Low-dose (but Not High) Niacinamide Reverses Reproductive Decline In Old Females

    Increased Fatty Acid Synthesis (FAS) Is Simply A Sign Of Oxygen Deficiency / Low Metabolism

    Dietary Niacinamide (B3) Deficiency May Be A Cause Of Schizophrenia

    As many of my readers know, the link between niacinamide and schizophrenia dates back at least the 1950s and possibly much earlier. The late Abram Hoffer, one of the founders of the orthomolecular approach, was convinced that stress was a huge factor in mental illness and ran several successful...

    Niacinamide May Restore Female Fertility In Old Age
