I posted about
Niacinamide a short while back, about
how it has helped many folks with anxiety issues. I have been using it and can honestly say that I believe it has been quite beneficial for me!
I take one every night before bed and take one on rising. If my anxiety floats around, I take some extra. For it to work most effectively, it needs to be taken regularly, everyday,
I found this anecdote about
niacinamide:
"If the body does not get enough Vitamin B3 through diet, it can make it from Tryptophan. This is not good for anxiety sufferers as Tryptophan is the amino acid the body uses to make the good mood chemical Serotonin, a lack of which causes anxiety and depression. Therefore it might be the case that taking on more B3 in the form of Niacinamide lessens the necessity to divert Tryptophan away from Serotonin and therefore boosts mood and calm anxiety that way.
On top of that, B Vitamins are essential for correct brain and nervous system functioning."
Anyhow, to each his own and I'm not pushing this on anyone. But it is inexpensive and is a vitamin. Do your own research. I am happy thus far!!!!
