Summary

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about some fascinating data from the research of Dr. William Kaufman, M.D. He found that niacinamide in high doses is an effective remedy for ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).


Vitamin B3 is the precursor for NAD, which helps your cells extract energy from food. When you eat, the NAD molecule helps take the electrons from your food and turn them into ATP for energy.


Vitamin B3 helps your nerve cells get more energy. It may help decrease hyperactivity and increase focus at the same time!


Nutrient deficiencies can cause the brain and nervous system to become hyperexcited. Niacinamide is a water-soluble version of vitamin B3 that can help energize your neurons and effectively mitigate ADD or ADHD symptoms.


Because niacinamide is water-soluble, it doesn’t stay in the body long. This means you should take about 250 mg six to eight times per day. This can also be effective for ADD or ADHD in children.


It’s also important to clean up your diet to help with the symptoms of ADD or ADHD. Niacinamide supplements cannot replace a healthy diet. Always check with your doctor before stopping your medications.

First of all, it's the precursor, it's the building block for a very important thing in your cells that helps you extract energy from food.

It's called NAD.

And so when you eat, whether it's protein, fats, or carbohydrates,

1:35.0

this molecule helps to take these electrons from that food and put into a battery called ATP.

1:41.0

So if you don't have that, then your cells can't get energy.

1:45.6

And so Dr. Kaufman talks about this research with animals called increased running when you
