I've been taking relatively high dose niacinamide recently. 400 mg doses throughout the day, totalling around 3 g a day I think. After I began doing it I noticed significant reduction in belly fat. Surely because of the lowering of stress hormones?

“Niacinamide, used in moderate doses, can safely help to restrain the excessive production of free fatty acids, and also helps to limit the wasteful conversion of glucose into fat. There is evidence that diabetics are chronically deficient in niacin. Excess fatty acids in the blood probably divert tryptophan from niacin synthesis into serotonin synthesis.” Ray Peat

I take total of 1g-1,5g / day and noticed slight reduction of belly fat, even though i have high fat intake (about 100g).

I feel like niacinamide is making me gain belly fat. I only take one dose of 100mg with a high carb breakfast. I’d say my fat intake is generally 80g, while protein is 180g and carbs 300g.

Is that possible?

I am “pre-diabetic” so I’m not sure if b3 is a good supplement for me.
