Thorne Research - Niacinamide - Vitamin B3 Nicotinamide Supplement - 180 Capsules

I think it has some beneficial effect on overall health

Good product

We ran an organic acids test on my five year old daughter, who has been diagnosed with autism. One of the recommendations was for her to take added niacin. We had originally ally started out with the NOW Foods Niacin, which is really a great product in and of itself, but she would always develop a terrible flush afterward. I didn't think too much of it until one day I took a pill myself and realized just how uncomfortable and stinging the flushing felt, particularly in my joints. The flushing and discomfort also lasted a really long time for me, over an hour, and even when the flushing dissipated the discomfort was still there. It made me feel really bad to subject my daughter to that every day, so I did some research and found that niacinamide affects more or less the same pathways as niacin, but the flush is eliminated. From the day we switched over to the Throne Research Niacinamide, there has been no more flush. So for those who need niacin but hate the flush, this is your answer!

I am very picky about my supplements. I always search through the ingredients, including OTHER INGREDIENTS. You would be amazed how many additional non essential ingredients are added, that you may or may not be sensitive to or allergic to like I am... This supplement is perfect. It's clean and Niacinamide is great for joints and body aches. I take 2 per day and all aches and pains gone! It's a miracle. I got the idea to try Niacinamide for this purpose from Dr. Jonathan V. Wright from Tahoma Medical Clinic. He's a Harvard trained MD ... wanted to give credit where it's due

This is a great product! I was reading how the military had used B3 (specifically the niacinamide form) after WWII to help soldiers with joint issues from shrapnel or other war injuries. The doses they used in the study were quite high, but the results, according to the soldiers, were just amazing. Apparently at a dose of 1000 mg three times a day, the soldiers reported having very little to no joint pain, after 3 months on the B3. So, I wanted to try them myself, just for the aches and pains that come with being 50. WOW, was I surprised by how well these worked for joint pain! The funny thing is, you don't notice it so much until you STOP taking the B3's. We ran out of our initial 3-month supply last week, and both my husband and I immediately noticed, after 2 days without these, how the joint pain came back in spades. Neither of us have arthritis (that we know of), but I have several bad areas of my spine that were causing me pain most days. When I was taking these faithfully 3 times a day, that pain was gone completely. Try this for pain if you want to get off of the OTHER pain relievers that have bad side effects (and they ALL have some) - we have not had a single bad side effect from this. The only thing these pills did was make us feel MUCH better, and MUCH younger and less achy. Give it a try!

It’s great for the skin
