If you suffer from trauma or have PTSD, or even are under chronic stress causing excessive release of adrenaline, you should try taking a niacin supplement of around 20 mg per day because adrenaline block the conversion of tryptophan to niacin. One key source of niacin for your body is the amino acid tryptophan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UL of niacin is 35 mg, and even though it is a water soluble vitamin, exceeding the UL can cause damage to the kidneys or glucose control. A supplement of 20 mg per day is suggested to safely avoid the UL. This can easily ocur from fortified foods which provide the synthetic form of niacin, nicotinic acid, unlike the food forms which are NAD(H) and NADP(H). Fortified foods are everywhere, for example if you ate pizza or a pastry from a restaurant. It is also assumed that you are eating tryptophan containing foods and plenty of beans which also provide niacin. By increasing your niacin levels you can decrease your oxidative stress which will overall lower inflammation levels which will decrease your pain and nervous system reactivity. Additionally it is easier to heal when your body is receiving all the nutrients you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Various factors influence niacin levels in the body, including the availability of other nutrients like vitamin B6, riboflavin, and iron which are required to convert L-tryptophan into niacin equivalents. If you are deficient in these vital nutrients you can have an effective<\/em> niacin deficiency even if you are consuming enough tryptophan and niacin (IOM et al., 2006) (Organization, 2004). Factors that enhance tryptophan conversion to niacin include high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, thyroxine hormone, pregnancy, and phthalate esters. Conversely, low tryptophan diet, low B1 or B6 intake, adrenaline, estrogen, and certain diseases inhibit tryptophan conversion to niacin (IOM et al., 2006).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Varios factores influyen en los niveles de niacina en el cuerpo, incluyendo la disponibilidad de otros nutrientes como la vitamina B6, la riboflavina y el hierro, los cuales son necesarios para convertir el L-tript\u00f3fano en equivalentes de niacina. Si tienes deficiencia de estos nutrientes esenciales, puedes sufrir una deficiencia efectiva de niacina incluso si est\u00e1s consumiendo suficiente tript\u00f3fano y niacina (IOM et al., 2006) (Organizaci\u00f3n, 2004). Los factores que mejoran la conversi\u00f3n de tript\u00f3fano a niacina incluyen prote\u00ednas de alta calidad, \u00e1cidos grasos insaturados, la hormona tiroxina, el embarazo y los \u00e9steres de ftalato. Por el contrario, una dieta baja en tript\u00f3fano, baja ingesta de B1 o B6, adrenalina, estr\u00f3geno y ciertas enfermedades inhiben la conversi\u00f3n de tript\u00f3fano a niacina (IOM et al., 2006).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are supplementing and eating niacin fortified foods, the UL could be less tolerable if you have health issues ranging from migraine, IBS, alcoholism, gout, cardiac arrhythmias, diabetes, liver disease, or active peptic ulcer disease (Meyer-Ficca & Kirkland, 2016). If pre-pregnancy you had an issues with your blood sugar such as dyslipidemia, metabolic disease, or diabetes you should avoid any supplement that contains niacin because niacin supplementation decreases glucose control (Meyer-Ficca & Kirkland, 2016). In conclusion, obtaining niacin from natural food sources is safe, as there are no adverse side effects. Pregnant women should carefully consider their niacin intake and consult healthcare professionals when determining the need for supplementation, especially when you have a pre-existing health condition {Sciences, 1998 #607}<\/p>\n\n\n\n IOM, et al.
