Publisher's summary

Niacin (vitamin B3) is a small molecule made of only 14 atoms, smaller even than the simplest sugar. But this one molecule has profound effects on health: It plays a role in more than 500 reactions in the body.

Many illnesses are caused by too little niacin, and many illnesses can be cured with high doses of niacin. The authors of Niacin: The Real Story are advocates of orthomolecular (nutrition-based) medicine, supporting an approach to wellness that involves substances that naturally occur in the human body. This book makes the case for the widespread use of niacin for the prevention and treatment of health problems.

In Niacin: The Real Story, listeners will discover how to take niacin, with detailed recommendations on forms and therapeutic doses. There is plentiful, accurate information on niacin side effects and safety. Niacin can be used for arthritis, children's learning and behavioral disorders, mental illness, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions. Niacin: The Real Story is for people who want to learn more about niacin and its wonderful healing properties.

Stunning information!

I adore natural medicine. I am actually stunned that this information about Niacin is not known by the general public. Niacin is a natural and cheap cure for so many things that befall us. Thank you Dr. Hofer.

My High Cholesterol Lead Me Here; My Kid’s FASD & ADHD Kept Me Here

I bought the book because I had a credit to blow and my doctor put me on niacin for my cholesterol. I’m a nerd and like knowing health benefits and the whys of vitamins. I would say I got about 10% of what I was looking for there but what I learned about niacin for mental health has and will continue to pay off for decades. After starting niacinamide on my kiddo, he quickly became calmer with 80% less dysregulation. This lead to a host of natural approaches, including having our doctor wean off ADHD drugs, and we added a natural vitamin regimen along with niacinamide. We now have a much happier, regulated child without added side effects. Why don’t mental health professionals know about this? This book set us on a whole new course. We’ve had the best 6 months in 7 years all because of the information in this book. I’m so grateful.

B3 is for Everyone

If you are serious about your health, this book is a must read. Pearls of wisdom that your doctor is not going to tell you. Learn the benefits of high level nutrition and how to implement it. Take responsibility for your health at any age. Niacin is cheap and easy to use. The other nutrients mentioned in the book should be considered as well. Niacin can be taken in pill form or mix a powder in water. Santé
