Episode notes
Start Low And Test Individual B Vitamins
- Try single B vitamin trials and start at low doses before combining multiple B vitamins.
- Prefer non-methylated B forms if you react to methyl donors and avoid multivitamin 'pixie dust' blends.
Niacinamide Is A High-Impact B3
- Niacinamide (B3) at ~1.5 g/day supports metabolic and eye health and protects skin.
- It raises NAD precursor availability and shows cancer- and immune-related benefits in clinical studies.
Prefer Cod Liver Oil And Observe Animals
- If adjusting omega-3:6, try whole-food cod liver oil plus vitamin E instead of high-dose fish oil.
- Observe seasonal animal diets (deer/elk) as practical guidance for PUFA needs in cold climates.
