    Tuberculosis Depletes NAD+ (and Niacinamide May Be Able To Treat It)

    As I was getting this post ready, I saw that haidut beat me to the punch by 3 years or so - but maybe the 2018 article that spurred this will answer @Giraffe 's question ("what's the mechanism?") in that thread Niacinamide May Be Able To Treat Both HIV And Tuberculosis Pulling from instagram...

    Niacinamide May Treat (acute) Kidney Failure (AKI) - Human Study

    It seems modern medicine is slowly starting to recognize the role of energy in organ health, and more specifically the role of NAD/NADH ratio in variety of diseases long thought to be mostly mechanism in origin. A few months ago, I posted a study on raising NAD levels with nicotinamide riboside...

    Fatty Acid Oxidation (FAO) Makes Cancer Therapy-resistant, Niacinamide May Help

    Yet another study that shows FAO playing a crucial role in cancer progression. As many forum users know, anti-angiogenic therapies are one of the cornerstones of current cancer treatments. This therapy typically uses the so-called VEGF inhibitors to block the formation of new blood vessels in...

    Niacinamide May Be A Viable Treatment For Parkinson Disease (PD)

    It looks like the pharma industry is experiencing a resurgence in the search for metabolic therapies with patented chemicals. There must have been at least 50 different studies in 2017 alone with the NAD precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) for conditions ranging from cancer, to glaucoma, to...

    Niacinamide Lowers BP, May Reverse CVD And Reduce Heart Attack Risk By 25%

    This is a human study, so the findings are that much more relevant even though they probably do not come as a surprise to users of this forum. The duration of the study was just 6 weeks and the dose was 500mg nicotinamide riboside (NR) twice a day (for a total of 1,000mg). There were no side...

    New Human Trial With An NAD Precursor

    I just wanted to post this here, as it seems interest in raising NAD is high among pharma companies. While nicotinamide riboside is the most popular precursor used in the Western world, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is another one that has been used clinically. This clinical trial below...

    Niacinamide May Treat Brain Cancer (glioblastoma)

    Neuroblastoma is one of the most common brain cancers and one of the most lethal ones of all cancers. Senator John McCain is probably the most famous recent victims of this cancer, and others famous cases include Senator Ted Kennedy and one of Joe Biden's son. The latter two died from the cancer...

    Colon Aging / Cancer? Due To Low NAD / High Serotonin; Niacinamide Reverses Both

    Peat has said many times that the impaired bowel regularity that occurs in aging, hypothyroidism and various pathologies is due to high NO and serotonin. He also said that while serotonin inhibits motility in the colon it increases it in the small intestine. Most doctors do not agree with that...

    Niacinamide Retards/Reverses Aging And Physiological Decline

    Yet another study on the beneficial effects of raising NAD levels, and unlike other recent studies this one is not sponsored by ChromaDex. This study used nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and human studies have shown that niacinamide is equally effective as NMN in raising NAD levels. Also, as...

    On Pellagra

    Pellagra is fairly well understood, but there is still some persistent mythology surrounding the etiology. Everyone knows that niacin is the characteristic deficiency, but few are aware of the central importance that leucine plays in this. The somewhat low tryptophan and niacin content of corn...

    Niacinamide Enhances Creatine Neuroprotectiveness Against NMDA Agonist Toxicity

    Creatine can, therefore, produce significant neuroprotective effects against NMDA mediated excitotoxic lesions in vivo and the combination of nicotinamide with creatine exerts additive neuroprotective effects Neuroprotective effects of creatine administration against NMDA and malonate toxicity...

    Niacinamide And Doxycycline May Treat Alzheimer Disease (AD)

    This study is yet another one that shows benefit of raising NAD levels for treating neurodegenerative conditions like AD. There were a few older studies around 2003, which were also done on mice and as a result of those studies a human clinical trial with 3g niacinamide daily (a dose that...

    Niacinamide May Treat ALS (and Stroke)

    I posted a few studies in the past demonstrating that ALS is a mitochondrial/metabolic disease and as such can be treated with pro-metabolic therapies like thyroid or copper (currently in clinical trials). This new study shows that raising NAD levels with the NAD precursor nicotinamide...

    Niacinamide In The Treatment Of Osteoarthritis

    The effect of niacinamide on osteoarthritis: A pilot study In the 1940's and 50's William Kaufman treated several hundred patients with both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis with large doses of niacinamide. The researchers here are following Kaufman's approach. They conducted a three month...

    Human Study Confirms Alzheimer As A Metabolic Condition (brain Diabetes)

    Over the last 3 years I posted quite a few studies on Alzheimer disease (AD) and have discussed it at length in the Danny Roddy podcasts. Among the most successful interventions are niacinamide and methylene blue (MB) both of which are in human clinical trials, thyroid and aspirin. Alzheimer...

    High-dose Vitamin C Or Niacinamide May Treat Advanced Colon Cancer

    I posted a few studies recently on vitamin C and niacinamide as potential cancer treatments. Linus Pauling May Have Been Vindicated - Vitamin C May Treat Cancer Inhibiting Lipolysis May Treat / Cure Cancer This new study corroborates these initial findings. Unfortunately, the study is worded in...

    More Than One Third Of Men And Almost Half Of Women Are Energy Deficient

    I wanted to note from the start that this is NOT about calories, this is about ENERGY deficiency as a result of bad metabolism. So, while not the same as hypothyroidism, this study shows just how sick the general population is (if we assume that energetic deficiency is behind all diseases). Now...

    Niacinamide May Prevent Melanoma

    About 2 years ago an Australian study hit frontpage news. It found that ingesting 1g niacinamide daily significantly reduced the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers. Vitamin B3 Prevents And Reverses Skin Cancer Now, a new study and a review found that the same dose of niacinamide may work for...

    Niacinamide May Fully Prevent Miscarriages And/or Birth Defects

    I posted recently about the drastic reduction (or even reversal) of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women who took a small dose of aspirin. Aspirin Can Treat Pre-eclampsia Up until that study on aspirin came out, pre-eclampsia was considered untreatable and when a woman develops it usually the only...
