Can niacin (vitamin B3) raise NAD+ levels and improve the health of the mitochondria? That's a question we did not know the answer to. In this episode of my podcast I summaries the findings of the first study. It involved healthy people and those with mitochondria myopathy. You'll learn what niacin did and didn't do in both the healthy people and those who were not so healthy. Side effects and the research I'd like to see are also included. Plus the myth of the week – is it true we only use 10% of our brain?
