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.
Sharing Dr Berg notes here: If you have a niacin deficiency, you might experience the “4 D's”: dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and even death. Subclinical symptoms of a niacin deficiency include the following: • Loss of taste • Metallic/rancid taste in the mouth • Loss of smell/change in smell • Face moves when you look in the mirror • Words move when you read • Unstable or moving ground when walking • Fatigue • Inability to relax You need large amounts of niacin to address a deficiency. You can take either niacin or niacinamide. Niacin is a precursor to NAD, (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) which helps extract electrons from foods. This allows you to get more energy from the food that you eat. Vitamin B3 helps support something known as sirtuins, which support longevity and DNA repair. L-tryptophan can convert to niacin, serotonin, and melatonin! Niacin is very beneficial for skin health and conditions like acne and psoriasis. A niacin deficiency can cause very dry, scaly skin. The form of niacin known as niacinamide can help with inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Niacin also supports healthy levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol. It was very popular before the development of statins. Animal protein and organ meats are the best sources of niacin. You can also get niacin from spirulina and nutritional yeast, but look for nutritional yeast that does not have added synthetic vitamins. There is a tremendous amount of research on niacin and cholesterol, the heart, and mood disorders like schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. A diet high in ultra-processed foods can lead to a niacin deficiency. Pregnancy, alcoholism, Covid-19, and certain medications can also contribute to a niacin deficiency. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
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.
I love the niacin flush. It can be a bit itchi the first couple of times but it will stop. The relaxation and clarity I get from a niacin flush is amazing!
Thank you so much for this information. I started niacin, and I didn’t know to expect that darn itching and my head felt like it was on fire. I notice my pain was pretty much gone when I take product.
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
This information is gold, Dr Berg! It answers a lot of questions as I often had dermatitis when I was on a high refined carbs, sugar and junk foods diet years ago. By taking a good B complex and other supplements recommended in your videos while doing Keto and IF helped me recover getting used to the bit of flushing which I don't mind. Thanks for your continuous support 🙏🏻
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).
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
"Hey Dr. Berg, love your content! I've noticed that when I take niacin, it triggers my mast cells and releases histamine, causing hives all over my body. Could you please do a video on this topic and share some tips on how to take niacin without triggering hives? I really appreciate your insights! 🙏"
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.
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.
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
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.
Amazing video, Dr Berg! Love your explanations and humour. I was dealing with dermatitis quite a lot when I was on an ultra processed/junk foods diet years ago and also from long covid recently. The metallic taste was awfully annoying like "iron from blood". B complex vitamins have been helping me alongside with other supplements, Keto and IF successfully in my recovery journey. I didn't like the flushing first time but getting used to it gradually. Thanks for your insightful educational content 👍🏻💖🌞
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???
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.
I have taken niacin for 5 decades now. I find its benefits to be amazing. However, could you address the current well publicized medical study that supposedly links niacin to heart disease?
When taking 6 grams of Niacin per day, how do I split this amount during the day? Do I need to split in 3 doses? What if I eat 2 times per day? I currently take 3 grams per day for anxiety but, I feel like I need more for this condition. Just need to make sure that I am taking it correctly. Thank you Dr. Berg, awesome video!!!
DR BERG....I am 48 and dialogized with PSA. Currently on Meds, like methotrexate and tofajak. Psoriasis is not much. My Disease is under control but i always feel fatigue and low on energy level. Does Niacinamide works for chronic fatigue too??
Hi Dr Berg. What is the reason for getting the flushing reaction? I’ve been taking nutritional yeast for almost a year now. I get the facial flushing almost daily and sometimes more, where I have redness in my whole face and neck. I also get an itchy, warm feeling on my skin. I take about 3 tbs/ day, but divided between morning and night. I appreciate your content! Big thank you from Norway
😮 Before I gave up grains and milk products due to allergies and intolerances I suffered thick cracked and callous skin patches around nail beds and on knees and elbows, and many other symptoms of B vitamin deficiencies.
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
Dr Berg, thanks for the video. I have found the Nicotinic acid form actually erases my arthritis. Also, what are your thought on Niacin raising blood sugar and being liver toxic? There is mention of TMG to ameliorate this? Would make for a great video to followup this one!
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!
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.
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 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
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.
5:20 Right!!! Everyone is so confused as to why they still have post covid 19 symptoms. I too was confused for a while. Once I got my diet right , part of that was higher niacin intake and I felt so much better.
"..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!
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.
Please talk about nasal spray addiction treatment,like otrifin, xylometazoline, I have been addicted for 10 years and when I try to stop choking and go to the emergency, what is the solution? And I spray every 2 hours and I make alarm when I sleep 😢 i think probiotics is good for this problem
Hi I'm falak and I'm 15 years old and i have papules pimples on my nose and chin it's getting worse and nothing works please make a video on it love from India 🇮🇳
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

I currently take 3 grams per day for anxiety but, I feel like I need more for this condition. Just need to make sure that I am taking it correctly. Thank you Dr. Berg, awesome video!!!
DR BERG....I am 48 and dialogized with PSA. Currently on Meds, like methotrexate and tofajak. Psoriasis is not much. My Disease is under control but i always feel fatigue and low on energy level. Does Niacinamide works for chronic fatigue too??
Hi Dr Berg. What is the reason for getting the flushing reaction?
I’ve been taking nutritional yeast for almost a year now. I get the facial flushing almost daily and sometimes more, where I have redness in my whole face and neck. I also get an itchy, warm feeling on my skin.
I take about 3 tbs/ day, but divided between morning and night.
I appreciate your content!
Big thank you from Norway
What’s the recommended dosage we should take ?
I really needed this information 🙏🏾
This is an excellent presentation as is usual for Dr. Berg.
I'm truly thankful!
@@DrbergYou are welcome Dr. Berg.
Dr berg, i have taking 100mg niacin but nothing on me (no red no flushing), i suitable take this?
Hello dr berg ..
Cn yu make a video about prolactinoma
Please 🙏😞
Cheers so much 😊
I think it's time to top up on nutritional yeast and lol Spirulina's so underrated as a health supplement ❤
😮 Before I gave up grains and milk products due to allergies and intolerances I suffered thick cracked and callous skin patches around nail beds and on knees and elbows, and many other symptoms of B vitamin deficiencies.
Thank you, Dr. Eric Berg, your information has been very helpful to me and my family ❤️🙏❤️.
Great news!
HI IM NEW TO THE CHANNEL.....DR. IS THERE 1 VITAMIN I CAN TAKE FOR ALL THE ONES I NEED
Taking vitamin C an hour or less with a meal before taking niacin lessen the severity of flushing 🙏🏻
It's really important topic ❤🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg
I'm glad you're enjoying this video!
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 how about if we take B complex all in one….. give some info about B complex pls Tq
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!
Don’t fear it, I take 4gms a day (yes grams) minimal flushing and so many benefits. It’s the best anti ageing supplement on this planet bar none.
How did it save your life
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
Thank you, Dr. Berg! 🙂 Have a great day, everyone! 💪
Okay, thank you.
Is niacin 1000mg a day enough to correct severe pellegra been suffering for 8 years?
Dr Berg, thanks for the video. I have found the Nicotinic acid form actually erases my arthritis. Also, what are your thought on Niacin raising blood sugar and being liver toxic? There is mention of TMG to ameliorate this? Would make for a great video to followup this one!
Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Watching 2nd due to it's so great ❤
You're absolutely welcome!
Dr. Berg, please suggest a high quality Niacin suppliment. Niacin, not Niacinamide. Thank you!
High fructose corn syrup maximizes what a high corn diet did, which was prevalent when Pellagra was in its latest peak, plus other things
Is it safe to take Niacin the flushing kind during pregnancy?
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!
❤It's a great topic. Thanks alot dr Berg your information is always useful ❤
Glad you found it so helpful!
I hope you’re well Dr.
Should I continue taking the b complex B100?
I thought you needed to be careful of high doses because of the liver? But, its suppose to fix the fatty liver? I am confused.
"other than that, you perfectly fine"..LOL...this should be the channel's slogan
Is time released niacin a good way to avoid niacin flushing?
Sub Cinical nutritional deficiencies are now the new normal.
Thankfully we are being educated to properly manage our health 🙏🏼❤
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.
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.
what about NMN? should we take it?
Nice one 👍 thanks Doctor Berg for sharing 👍
Can b3 help hypoglycemia iv read it can?
Thanks you DR.BERG i watched your old video about Ringwarm and tried that remedy on my leg side and get results thank you very much ❤
That's great. Glad my advice helped you.
@Dr.berg i keep finding information about having niacin deficiency. What about being high in niacin even though you don't take it?
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
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
You got it!
How much Niacin should we take daily (mg)?
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
That's great❤Would you mind sharing the brand name and dose with me?
@@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.
My son has bipolar . Do you think this can help ?
5:20 Right!!! Everyone is so confused as to why they still have post covid 19 symptoms. I too was confused for a while. Once I got my diet right , part of that was higher niacin intake and I felt so much better.
Same
"..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!
Ive seen your other vid on b3 and now im supplementing niacinamide dayly. Thanks doc
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.
You need Potassium
At least 4,5 MG a Day
I'm going to need an update after this Cleveland Clinic study. News is vague
What's the " flushing" ?
Higher doses cause your face and skin to turn red.
I wonder if covid interrupted the body's ability to absorb niacin and that's why a lot of us lost taste and smell.
Don't forget the exponential increase in telecom waves !!
Hi Dr Berg ….
Please talk about NAD and longevity
This 😊
Please talk about nasal spray addiction treatment,like otrifin, xylometazoline, I have been addicted for 10 years and when I try to stop choking and go to the emergency, what is the solution? And I spray every 2 hours and I make alarm when I sleep 😢 i think probiotics is good for this problem
Have you checked your vitamin D levels? Also, have you tried Sterimar Blocked nose saline spray?
Can we take niacin and niacinamide together
Hi I'm falak and I'm 15 years old and i have papules pimples on my nose and chin it's getting worse and nothing works please make a video on it love from India 🇮🇳
Can I take niacin then niacinamide after 4 weeks
@drberg I wasn't able to niacin on your site. Is there a brand you recommend?
@RB-ux9bh Maybe his nutritional yeast? He mentioned you get niacin from consuming nutritional yeast and his contains niacin.
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
