Niacinamide (B3) helps your body produce NAD, the cellular fuel that keeps nerves functioning properly. As we age, NAD levels drop by up to 50% by age 60, making it harder for nerves to maintain their protective coating, repair damage, and send clear signals. This is when tingling, burning, and numbness start showing up in your feet. B3 also helps calm chronic irritation in nerve tissue, which is why you might feel burning sensations even when nothing is touching your feet. It's like turning down the volume on overly sensitive nerves. Better yet, Niacinamide improves blood flow to your extremities, ensuring your nerve endings get the oxygen and nutrients they need to heal and function. The key is choosing Niacinamide over regular Niacin to avoid the uncomfortable flushing reaction that turns your skin red and itchy. 📋 THE NIACINAMIDE PROTOCOL: Start with 500mg of Niacinamide daily for the first two weeks, taken with food to avoid stomach upset. After your body adjusts, you can increase to 1000mg daily if needed and approved by your doctor. Split the dose into morning and evening if preferred. Combine supplementation with B3 rich foods like chicken breast, salmon, tuna, peanuts, and mushrooms. Improvement in nerve comfort typically appears within 4 to 12 weeks, so patience and consistency are essential. Always consult your doctor before starting, especially if you're on blood thinners, diabetes medication, or blood pressure pills. ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: Can Niacinamide help numb feet naturally without medication side effects? A: Studies suggest B3 may support nerve health by providing cellular energy and calming nerve irritation, but always work with your doctor to rule out other causes like blood sugar issues or B12 deficiency. Q: How does Vitamin B3 improve leg circulation for seniors? A: Niacinamide may help blood vessels function better, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach nerve endings in your feet and legs, which supports overall nerve comfort. Q: What are the best nerve repair foods for people over 60? A: Chicken, turkey, salmon, tuna, beef liver, peanuts, mushrooms, and green peas are all excellent sources of B3 that support nerve health naturally. Q: Why does Niacin cause flushing but Niacinamide doesn't? A: Niacin dilates blood vessels suddenly, causing red, hot, itchy skin. Niacinamide provides the same nerve support without triggering that uncomfortable reaction, making it the better choice for most seniors. ⚠️ MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
