Niacin - Intestinal Permeability And Oxidative Stress In Patients With Alcoholic Pellagra

[charlie]

CONCLUSIONS:
The results suggest that niacin and vitamin E deficiency in patients with pellagra could be important factors in increased intestinal permeability and decreased antioxidant conditions, recovering to normal values after treatment with niacin, associated to alcohol abstinence and a balanced diet.

Thank you @charlie. I knew thiamine was helpful for recovering alcoholics but I didn’t know about niacin.

I believe B3 was part of the original alcoholic anonymous protocol from Bill, but was taken out to be accepted by the mainstream.

Interesting. I noticed everyone I’ve worked with who is hospitalized for alcoholism is put on thiamine.

I dont think niacin is part of the emergency protocol for alcoholism, but part of how you address the desire for alcohol.

Yes, it would probably work better if niacin was added. :)
