Mastering Nutrition Dmitry Kats, PhD: From Niatonin to Niacur
Niacin Beyond NAD+: A Broader Mechanism
- Dmitry Kats argues niacin's antiviral and anti-inflammatory roles extend beyond NAD+ synthesis to receptor-mediated cellular effects.
- He links chronic niacin insufficiency to inflammation, butyrate depletion, and impaired immune maintenance.
Butyrate As An Immune Modulator
- Butyrate, produced by gut microbes, modulates systemic immunity and maintains intestinal homeostasis.
- Loss of butyrate abundance disrupts T-cell balance and predisposes to chronic inflammation and disease.
Rethinking The Niacin Flush
- Kats reframes the niacin 'flush' not simply as a nuisance but as a sign niacin failed to reach its intended gut receptor pathway.
- He now treats flushing as undesirable 'spillover' acidity rather than beneficial exfoliation.
In this episode, I have Dr. Dmitry Kats, MPH, PhD. He has a PhD in epidemiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many people have asked me what I think of his Niatonin protocol for COVID. And as you'll see in this interview that has since evolved into the Niacur protocol, which now has the dosing regimen of just niacin and curcumin, having abandoned the melatonin from the original protocol. You will find in this 3.5-hour conversation all about the justification for that protocol, how it evolved over time, where it came from, and you will get a really interesting look into the fascinating mind of Dr. Kats.

During this critical time where our freedom of health and freedom of speech is in imminent danger, and where tens of thousands of people are facing imminent job losses as the result of medical mandates, I am devoting my analytical skills full time toward the battle for health freedom. This includes working directly with lawyers in lawsuits over mandates, lockdowns, and the current standard of care, scientifically analyzing the safety, efficacy, and risks of mandated medical treatments and their alternatives as well as ways to mitigate their harms, publishing my findings in scientific journals and sharing them with you.
It is my firm conviction that this is the most important gift I can offer the world right now, and I view this as a needed public service.
