Niacin: The Unsung Hero of Brain Health

Niacin was also useful, but at lower doses. Niacin also supports formation of acetylcholine which, on the one hand, is a major driver of the parasympathetic nervous system, the one that counteracts a fight or flight you get from, say, norepinephrine.
Ever wondered if a simple vitamin could be the key to better brain health? In this episode of 'Mind Matters', hosts Eva Edelman and Simone Jeanette dive into the fascinating world of niacin, also known as vitamin B3. They unravel how this nutrient can make a difference in managing anxiety, schizophrenia, mania, and even nicotine and alcohol withdrawal.
The episode takes you through the history of niacin's discovery and its applications in treating various mental health issues, including dementia and learning disorders. Eva and Simone also touch on the importance of getting the right dose and how orthomolecular physicians integrate nutrients with medication for optimal results. One of the most eye-opening segments discusses how small doses of niacin and vitamin C can help people quit smoking within a week.
But remember, everyone's biochemistry is unique, so what works for one person might not work for another. This episode is packed with valuable information that could change how you think about brain health. Tune in to learn more about this underrated vitamin and its potential benefits.
