Therapeutic effects for many insulin-dependent diabetics
Although niacinamide shares some characteristics of niacin, it has unique nutritional and pharmalogical properties of its own. The niacinamide form of B3 is literally required in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the human body. In doses of one to three grams per day, niacinamide has therapeutic effects for many insulin- dependent diabetics (Type 1 diabetes). It is a key nutrient in the treatment of schizophrenia when used in doses of three to six grams per day. Research has also demonstrated its remarkable benefits for arthritis, asthma, heart disease, stress, stroke and recently as an anti-aging nutrient.
Arthritis patients report reduction in pain symptoms sooner when niacinamide is taken along with other substances like glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. Patients taking niacinamide for anxiety and stress usually report they soon feel ‘normal’ again and can ‘deal’ with their stress. They can reduce or stop niacinamide for a few days until the ‘pressure’ starts to build again.
Niacinamide, along with a-lipoic acid, should be considered as an essential anti-aging nutrient. Its positive enhancement of Sir2p and longevity provides those seeking to
slow and reverse the aging process a first-generation tool in genetic anti-aging therapy as well as a way to square the aging curve. Niacinamide also plays an important role in the Neuroendocrine Theory of Aging hypothesis. By blunting the effects of age-induced increase in IL-1 in the brain as well as its improvement of cellular ox/redox function and regeneration, it helps protect and maintain ‘set point’ sensitive neurons of the brain, and specifically in the hypothalamus. This ultimately may not only square the aging curve but may extend it as well. Niacinamide is a safe, effective, inexpensive supplement that should be considered an essential part in a nutritional program.
