Dr. Berg, a specialist in ADD/ADHD research, discusses how high doses of niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, can be an effective remedy for ADD/ADHD. Niacinamide helps nerve cells get more energy, potentially reducing hyperactivity and improving focus. It is advised to take 250 mg six to eight times per day for maximum benefits. Additionally, a healthy diet is crucial alongside supplements for managing ADD/ADHD symptoms.

Quick takeaways

Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, helps energize nerve cells to reduce hyperactivity and enhance focus in individuals with ADD/ADHD.

Higher doses of niacinamide, around 250mg six to eight times daily, can effectively mitigate ADD/ADHD symptoms in both children and adults.

Deep dives

Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, for Improved Focus and Attention

Vitamin B3, specifically niacinamide, plays a crucial role in improving focus and attention by providing energy to nerve cells. Dr. Kaufman highlights that vitamin therapy often fails due to low doses used in research, despite higher amounts being necessary for conditions like ADHD. Niacinamide aids in extracting energy from food, supporting the formation of NAD molecules crucial for cellular energy production. This vitamin can help reduce hyperactivity and increase focus by providing the needed energy for nerve cells to function optimally.

Unlocking the Potential of Vitamin B3 for ADD/ADHD Treatment

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about some fascinating data from the research of Dr. William Kaufman, M.D. He found that niacinamide in high doses is an effective remedy for ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

Vitamin B3 is the precursor for NAD, which helps your cells extract energy from food. When you eat, the NAD molecule helps take the electrons from your food and turn them into ATP for energy.

Vitamin B3 helps your nerve cells get more energy. It may help decrease hyperactivity and increase focus at the same time!

Nutrient deficiencies can cause the brain and nervous system to become hyperexcited. Niacinamide is a water-soluble version of vitamin B3 that can help energize your neurons and effectively mitigate ADD or ADHD symptoms.

Because niacinamide is water-soluble, it doesn’t stay in the body long. This means you should take about 250 mg six to eight times per day. This can also be effective for ADD or ADHD in children.

It’s also important to clean up your diet to help with the symptoms of ADD or ADHD. Niacinamide supplements cannot replace a healthy diet. Always check with your doctor before stopping your medications.
