niacinamide

Hello Bee,

Since niacinimide is synthetic it sounds like we would want to avoid it

completely. I am finding even the top, most sought after brands

including Standard Process use niacinimide.

Niacinamide has important clinical uses that don't include niacin.

Specifically for Type I diabetes and other autoimmune conditions. So I think we

would do better to use the correct form for the specific condition.

So, just to clarify, could you give me some documentation to show to

the SP rep and to show to supplement buyer at our local health food

store as to the detriment of this if there is one. Both are very

concerned about this since the top of the line says " 100% " food grade

and obviously synthetic is not food grade.

Thanks much and best to you,

Louise

==>Hi Louise. It's great to hear from you! Yes it would be better to

avoid niacinimide but I can't find any vitamin B complex that doesn't

contain it, so the next best thing is to take " true " niacin separately.

==>Synthetic vitamins aren't bad for you, as Orthomolecular physicians

have proved, but niacinimide has a different molecular structure and

doesn't provide the benefits niacin does. I don't believe we " have to "

take food grade supplements to obtain benefits from supplementation,

and some people cannot afford the higher cost.

The best to you, Bee

Thanks for the clarification, dear Bee. Best to you too. Louise

I am weaning my daughter off Focalin xr. I am starting by eliminating the

2:00 dose and keeping the am dose for now. It seems like niacinamide would

help her in this transition. Any thoughts?

Other supplements ideas? She is supper giggly - impulsive after dinner and

through bed time.

Thanks -

We are giving her biotin 30mg a day, probiotics and just started again on

Ambrotose by mannatech ( good yeast fighter) any other over the counter

yeast fighters you'd recommend?

Re: [ ] niacinamide

Focalin is a stimulant, and niacinamide is a B vitamin that slows down phase

1 liver metabolism (among other functions). They do completely different

things. Someone mentioned it because she thought her child's phase 1 was too

fast for phase 2 and was unable to detox well.

What you're describing sounds very much like yeast overgrowth to me. FWIW I

was diagnosed with ADD last year, and most of my symptoms were eliminated

after I started taking antifungal supplements.

You can try a holistic route - take her to a chiropractor or a naturopath as

they can give you natural supplements and suggest anti-yeast treatments

also.

I'm giving my 4.5yo Candex, 1/4 capsule to 1/2 capsule once a day on an

empty stomach, and the results have been amazing. He doesn't fuss about

taking it because it's not bitter like GSE. It's very mild - haven't noticed

any side effects at all from it.
