my doc recommended NAD for mitochondrial support, also known as nicotinamide something something. my understanding it is similar to niacinamide which produces a histamine reaction and I've tried using the google fu to figure out if it does the same thing but have gotten mixed search results. it is expensive and i have already been thru the ringer with these pricey supplements so looking for experiences as always

he also recommended coq10 and d-ribose which i bought

nicotinamide riboside is not the same as ordinary nicotinamide and it does not produce a histamine reaction

NR theoretically boosts mitochondria function, which nicotinamide does not. I take NR and do believe it helps but its not life changing.

There is a lot of controversey about whether pure NAD is actually orally bioavailable. Most say it is not unless you get it via IV which is quite expensive.

Does Vitamin B3 niacin (as niacinamide) cause histamine reactions? I just got a B complex vitamin from Douglas Labs that has this, and I recently developed bad MCAS symptoms.

wbf- it might, thats why i am afraid to take it. i have to get a special multi b complex from my llmd.

that article does not specify what form of nicotinamide though so i am not sure...
