I was suffering from skin allergies and low energy my whole life until this year.. By the age of 30, I’ve tried all prescribed medications and vitamins, but nothing worked. My life was a pure suffering until one day I read a story about Niacin deficiency. (The doctors never checked for this, this is so stupid!) I bought a bottle of Niacin from Pure encapsulation because i was desperate to try anything. It was a shot in the dark, but it worked within a few days! I am shocked ! I have no brain fogs or allergic reactions anymore! I thought I will never feel normal again and now I am doing good! I am so glad I did not give up searching for an answer. Thank God. It is not bad to start a new life at 30
Congrats on finding life changing benefits from Niacin...I have similar skin allergies for what seems like i have lived with for an eternity 🫤Def going to try it..thanks for your story ✋🏼👍🏻
I am happy for you man. Man a couple of questions. Do you have a link of the product ? Did you have some intestinal problems too or only skin issues ? Did you have eccema or only allergies ?
@@El.Espartano Thanks! I tried posting a link, but UA-cam does not let me to post it. It is strange, but ok. I buy Niacin on Pure Encapsulations official website. The name of the product is Niacinamide. I had eczema on my hands, arms, and legs. Also, sometimes, I had temporary allergic reactions around my eyes and mouth. It started when I was 5 years old. I did not have any intestinal issues, but I was always sleepy. I had no energy to live normally. It is not very common to have this type of deficiency, I am still trying to understand why I have it
In the book Niacin The Real Story, I found out all what Niacin can do. For many times, I wasn't able to raise my HDL and reduce my LDL. Well, with 3g of niacin, 2g of Omega 3 and 6g of vitamin C per day, I could achieve it.. Ovoid statins, orthomolecular is the way.. Thanks for your videos, Dr. Berg.
I take 4gms a day, never heard of anyone taking close to what I do. My blood work is fantastic at age 50, doc said comparable to a 30yo. I shall be taking it in huge doses for the rest of my days, buy it in huge bags never want to run out!
Your videos are so useful for me. I go into a lot of these "deficiency" videos thinking that I am fine (most of the time I am) but every once in a while there is one like this where you point out the major sources and the issue of chronic deficit, and I realise I am very likely to be chronically deficient (my current diet has enough b3, but my previously poor diet that I corrected about 9 months ago) probably left me with low b3 (and although I am now getting enough for maintainance I very likely need ro supplement for a while to erase the long term deficit). Just because one begins eating a healthy diet, it doesn't mean there can't be chronic deficits from the previous diet that won't be erased by the new diet alone. A healthy diet is able to maintain nutrients (otherwise it isn't a healthy diet), but it can't necessarily provide sufficient quantities of certain nutrients to correct a previous deficit.
Excellent Video! Commentary: Niacin also appears to be helpful for Post Covid Long Haul Syndrome and Bile Acid Malabsorption (BAM). Tip: Another form of "flush-free" Niacin is called Inositol Hexanicotinate. Gradually increasing the dose until mega-dosing is achieved is sometimes necessary. In addition to Niacin, some individuals may strongly benefit by adding R-5-P (Coenzymated Vitamin B2), Pantothenic Acid (B5), and additional B vitamins. If you have been deficient for a long time, it may take a long time to recover. Patience is necessary.
Niacin plays a huge role on post COVID syndrome. I was a victim of it and I used up to 12g (12000mg) nicotinic acid a day to get rid of most symptoms, plus B complex and melatonin, aminoacids (glutamine, taurine, tryptophan, tyrosine, BCAAs, glycine, arginine, Lysine), probiotics, zinc+copper+selenium and lots of Ascorbic acid. Lugol's iodine separate from everything else. Everything must be in high doses because of huge deficiencies created by COVID.
I started taking Niacin (500mg) about a week ago to help my cholesterol. I immediately felt the prickly redness running down my arms, seemingly working on a 5-year bicep tendonitis issue etc. I've been struggling with. I can't explain it, but physio, chiro, osteo hasn't helped and it feels like a nerve pain no pain reliever will dull. I am floored that my arm pain is about 85% better and with each dose is improving. Tonight though I'm halving the dose as with our extreme summer heat, the prickly redness was a 90 min. bother last night. Thank you.
Get off the plants/veggies. Eat meat and fat and feel better. Plant defense chemicals affect mental health way more than we’re told by corrupt medicine. Only way to know is to do an elimination diet. Beef eggs salt butter and bacon. Chicken is okay but it’s so lean so add some fat (no veggie oils).
Thanks Dr Berg. Do you know any remedies for lipomas? If so, can you do a video on it? My guess is autophagy would help eventually, but would love to hear your ideas on this
The flushing niacin (nicotinic acid) at only 100mg several times a day really helped me energy and weight management. I was able to drop an expensive Nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplement and get better results. Niacinamide does nothing for me and I think a lot of people are like this. It is said to be a defect in the "niacin salvage" pathway.
When I was a kid, my mom read about using naicin for "hyperactivity" (which was probably ADHD.) The recommendation was 6 grams! I did find it helped me as a kid, and the flush was an important part of it helping. It helped my dyslexia, and focus. It also helped the ringing in my ears, which is also a long covid symptom.
Niacinamide is great for Arthritis. I take 1500 mg twice daily for lower spinal arthritis. You must take it daily forever to have success and it may take 6 months to a year depending on how advanced your arthritis condition is. But it does work. I use Source Naturals but any brand is fine.
I have PSA, though psoriasis is not an issue. I am on methotrexate and Tofajak ... But still feel fatigue... Does Niacinamide works for Fatigue as well???
In my childhood, I consumed a lot of processed foods and grains, which led to numerous deficiencies such as Vitamin D3, Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, and more. After discovering your channel, my life has taken a positive turn. Despite my family viewing my avoidance of grains and outside foods as distasteful, I am healthier than ever. Every day, I feel better and better thanks to your knowledge and videos, which have rescued me from a dire situation. I cannot thank you enough, Dr. Berg.
My eczema has cleared in less than a week after taking niacin and niacinamide 1000 mg a day. I tried food elimination,creams steroids etc. B3 has improved my skin when other doctors couldn’t. Thank you Dr Berg. It’s a dream come true literally ❤
I'm very happy for you. I've had eczema and psoriasis for 15 years. I've started taking niacinamide 1000mg a day. We're you also taking 1000mg of the flush Niacin( nicotonic acid) also? Thank you
Niacin can work wonders to lower cholesterol, but you have to watch your uric acid levels. Years ago I took high dose niacin (it's been so long I don't remember the actual dosage) and it brought on Gout. Please monitor your uric acid levels when you take high dose niacin.
@@blackswan5756 Hello, you ask your doctor to take a blood sample to check uric acid level. If you are going to take high dose niacin, make sure you tell this to your doctor and ask to have your uric acid levels monitored regularly.
Because of Dr. Berg I take B3 everyday and am used to the flush, feels like Drano for my veins :) ' along with all the vitamins Dr. Berg recommends for a 67 year old man. Though the cardiologist has me taking Entresto 2 times a day I am searching for a natural source to replace it. She had me taking other meds I had to stop from side effects as everyone's system is different. Instead of a statin I drink a whole red onion along with lemon ginger and tumeric carrot beet and cabbage all juiced with black pepper and cyanine pepper. I only eat veggies 4 days a week, no sugar at all and no salt. :)
Veggies are all toxic to some degree. I bet you have lots of joint pain and low energy. Google toxic superfoods. Watch Dr. Anthony Chaffee. Plants are not our food sir. Just try beef and eggs for 30 days. Your life will change is so many good ways.
I absolutely loveeeee flushing niacin!! Dare I say it saved my life a few times!! 🙌🏼 I’m currently splitting a 500mg tablet into fourths, or half’s, switching between the two… but I could take more! Fear holds me back but I’m sure the relief will be worth it! Just trying to take it more consistently so I’m ready for a bigger dose!
I take 4grams a day on average and have done so for the past 2yrs, don’t fear it, it’s the best anti ageing supplement you’ll ever take. I’m better at 50 than I was at 40 and blood work to prove it
I take Niacin and it helped my little spider veins near my ankles go away as a bonus! I do get a pretty good flush sometimes but not every time I take it. I feel better overall after taking niacin and my dr says I have Hashimoto’s. I have more energy too. Thanks Dr Berg
@@DeniseWheeler-r6d Nutricost brand Niacin 100 mg dose per serving. Husband purchased off Amazon and also 500 mg but I flush way too bad with the 500. Good luck. My spider veins aren’t completely gone but not as noticeable since starting Niacin 6 months ago.
You recommend niacin or nicotinic acid which are both synthetic made from Coal tar And then you say to get it from unfortified nutritional yeast without the synthetic vitamins Niacin is synthetic
I remember having a lot of these concerns when I was younger. What was the cause? I would say my fast food diet. I've changed that dietary choice for several years now. I can feel when I go back to eating too much fast food. It's almost scary to see how my body reacts when I do this.
Amazing! I have eczema on my hand. I've tried a lot. Eating meat only keeps most of it at bay but its still there on my hand. Maybe I need to take more niacin. I also think it's psychosomatic as it won't go away.
I had very bad large eczema on my legs and arms. Used steroid cream for 3 years. Stopped when I felt liver and kidney pain ( damaged by steroid). What helped my eczema to completely clear up is by improving my liver with milk thistle (NOW brand), vitamin E from raw sunflower seeds, NAC, Brazil nuts for selenium), 1000mg Vitamin C, krill oil, grapefruit seed extract and eat lots of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale,). Have enough sunlight between 10 am and 3 pm for vitamin D3. Hope your eczema will go away.
I have been taking about 120 mg a day for several years to increase NAD. I'm a bit worried because I keep reading about liver problems, but so far everything seems fine with me.
As long as it’s the immediate release nicotinic acid version - full flush- you’re fine, liver problems are caused by the extended release version. I take 4gms of it a day,for 3yrs now and in better health at 50 than 30, with blood work to prove it. You can definitely go higher dose.
Thank you Dr Berg for this information. Most Drs wants you to pop a pillow too. At least you gives us an option to the holistic treatment, natural remedies, that's why I like you and your videos ❤😊😊. In order to receive my B3, I like liver, but the only way I know how to cook it is by frying it. How do you cook your liver? Any suggestions??
"..other than that, you are perfectly fine." LoL! I love your work. I have learned so much. Have you ever done any videos on people who have had gastric bypass surgery? It has many long-term adverse effects. Someone in my family died from long-term complications of ROUX-EN-Y gastric bypass surgery. If you haven't covered it, would you please? Thanks Doctor!
I mill my own wheat berries to make bread and get most B vitamins and then some. All breads, crackers, cookies, cakes from the stores are processed and stripped of all the vitamins we need to go back when bread was made prior 1900s
Yes after I had covid this year I experienced a lot of these symptoms I was wondering what the heck happened to me and it’s lingering long after Covid has left 😱
I am so very grateful to you for offering out your knowledge. I have gained a tremendous amount from your videos. The sad thing is I am losing faith in the medical profession as they only offer statins, blood thinners, beta blockers and steroids. I'm so happy to have the information that you offer. The more you offer the more God allows you to receive. Thank you 🎉
i wonder why dr berg did not touch on the precursor NAD+ which is NMN?? It is also considered as B3 group if I'm not mistaken. I have been taking it for 2 weeks, noticed tremendous changes in my body. Hope to hear from dr berg about NMN. thanks
Hi Dr. Berg, I just saw a report on world news tonight about high levels of niacin (B3) supplements causing heart disease, any opinion? I take nutritional yeast almost every day, should I be concerned? I take a half tablespoon on day, thanks
Besides proteins, red meat serves up a cocktail of vitamins like B12, niacin (B6), riboflavin (B2), and minerals such as iron. While I enjoy red meat regularly, I keep my portions modest (around 3-4 ounces per meal). This allows me to reap its nutritional rewards without overloading my system 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/the-single-best-food-for-healing-and-repair-is?srsltid=AfmBOorkIyrrnV_uFYrw1BY0RJalp2_e5bMn3Zw13Zyv-DgVHMR8RWuX
So, In the case of mental health disorders, is it possible this deficiency creates a lack of monoamine oxidase? Which in turn allows the NN-DMT created in the lungs to reach the brain, inducing mild to strong hallucinations?
I get niacin flush pretty bad, yes my eyes feel flush too. What I did notice is the flush is less severe if I take it before bed. Maybe different hormones at that time keep it in check?
What would anybody recommend as far as alternating niacin one day and nicotinamide the next? I have a slight challenge with cholesterol but not anything I'm super concerned about and I'm keto. I think my issues are a little bit more concerning around general inflammation. Thank you for your thoughts!
I have started ketovore 4 months ago. I have now developed psoriasis on my eyelids and underneath. It’s in my ear canals and a patch on my head. Not sure why it would develop on my eyelids.
Thank you! One question: Do you need to take niacin all at once or can you space it throughout the day? I was taking 3g, once per day, for high cholesterol and depression a few years ago. I am up to 1.5g now, slowly working towards 3g.

I find that when B3 is low I’m cranky Nician relieves the problem.
Good morning Dr berg. When you say other than that your perfectly fine, it gets me everytime 😂 have a great day!!
Me too 😂😂
Why would more protein cause a B3 deficiency? Was this a misspeak?
Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome, @randybutler4772!
Sir plz make video on urethral stricture😢
Is niacin 1000mg a day enough to correct severe pellegra been suffering for 8 years?
LOTS OF LOVE NLESSINGS!
Dr.Berg I’m currently nursing. Would it be safe to add b12 along with a prenatal? Thanks so much!
Thank you
thank you dr.
sir but doesnt high doses (like 3+ g) of niacin damage the liver? or high intake should only done for a period of time?
Dr. Berg, please suggest a high quality Niacin suppliment. Niacin, not Niacinamide. Thank you!
Love a good niacin flush 🔥 Take on empty stomach for more intensity. I recommend to people who think supplements have no effects.
Thankyou , needed this .I use both and will do more flush .
Awesome. Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks Doc 😊
It's alright!
Scott, life isn't fair, but you can be.
i wonder why dr berg did not touch on the precursor NAD+ which is NMN?? It is also considered as B3 group if I'm not mistaken. I have been taking it for 2 weeks, noticed tremendous changes in my body. Hope to hear from dr berg about NMN. thanks
What's the " flushing" ?
Higher doses cause your face and skin to turn red.
Explain flushing please
I saw a link to a video about it flash up at about 4:08
It's a vasodilator, so it dilates blood vessels, that is how I explain the flush.
Hi Dr. Berg, I just saw a report on world news tonight about high levels of niacin (B3) supplements causing heart disease, any opinion? I take nutritional yeast almost every day, should I be concerned? I take a half tablespoon on day, thanks
❤1❤🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg
Most welcome!
So how much red meat do i need to eat daily to meet recommended intake of niacin?
Besides proteins, red meat serves up a cocktail of vitamins like B12, niacin (B6), riboflavin (B2), and minerals such as iron. While I enjoy red meat regularly, I keep my portions modest (around 3-4 ounces per meal). This allows me to reap its nutritional rewards without overloading my system 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/the-single-best-food-for-healing-and-repair-is?srsltid=AfmBOorkIyrrnV_uFYrw1BY0RJalp2_e5bMn3Zw13Zyv-DgVHMR8RWuX
New research links niacin with CVAs. Please address this Dr Berg
Priceless -> Other then that, You are perfectly fine!!!
So, In the case of mental health disorders, is it possible this deficiency creates a lack of monoamine oxidase? Which in turn allows the NN-DMT created in the lungs to reach the brain, inducing mild to strong hallucinations?
I heard it makes you crave raw meat. Either way It all spells zombie like appearance to me except the death part.
I had a strange side effect from taking niacin, my eyes started burning on top of an extreme flush.
I get niacin flush pretty bad, yes my eyes feel flush too.
What I did notice is the flush is less severe if I take it before bed. Maybe different hormones at that time keep it in check?
Have you looked into the "new studies" saying niacin increase 4py which may lead to increase of cv events?
I just found in the comments of diverticulitis video that studies only covers men can you please make video about this topic
How can I find the video on diverticulitis...🕊️
what about NMN? should we take it?
HI IM NEW TO THE CHANNEL.....DR. IS THERE 1 VITAMIN I CAN TAKE FOR ALL THE ONES I NEED
Thank you🙏🌹
You're welcome!
What would anybody recommend as far as alternating niacin one day and nicotinamide the next? I have a slight challenge with cholesterol but not anything I'm super concerned about and I'm keto. I think my issues are a little bit more concerning around general inflammation. Thank you for your thoughts!
I have started ketovore 4 months ago. I have now developed psoriasis on my eyelids and underneath. It’s in my ear canals and a patch on my head. Not sure why it would develop on my eyelids.
Thank you! One question: Do you need to take niacin all at once or can you space it throughout the day? I was taking 3g, once per day, for high cholesterol and depression a few years ago. I am up to 1.5g now, slowly working towards 3g.
