In theory, niacinamide ought to be just what I need. I am trying to:
1. Kick-start my metabolism back into burning sugar after years stuck in a very sick, low-energy, carbohydrate-intolerant state
2. Address chronic nervous system agitation and insomnia
For a few weeks now I have been taking 2g niacinamide twice per day for a total of 4g daily. It seems to be helping me tolerate at least a little more sugar, and one longstanding health issue (an "autoimmune" skin condition) is improving.
Significantly, however, this dosage of niacinamide has no sedative or anxiolytic effect on me whatsoever.
I am inclined to see if taking more will bring more benefit. Specifically, I would be delighted to arrive at a dose that noticeably calms my nervous system and helps me sleep (as niacinamide is supposed to do).
But since I am already taking a fairly large daily dose, I would like to ask:
Does anyone see danger in pushing the dosage higher and higher? Is there an argument for an upper limit?
Also, are there other nutrients which might be in specific danger of depletion with long-term high-dose niacinamide use?
