Also when I used to take it it would calm me down but also make me very depressed and antisocial - a bit like taking 5htp for more than one dose in a row. But that's just me!You know, if we had signature files here, mine would have to include a disclaimer. Like, this is how things are kind of sort of supposed to work, but anything is possible, and pay attention, dude!
I can feel niacinamide work, just like the literature said it ought to. It was must first real A-hah! substance. It takes 20 minutes for the niacinamide to kick in, and I'm golden.
The enzyme that switches niacin to niacinamide goes in both directions. It doesn't know front from back. Whichever "side" of the enzyme has more "stuff" available to it, becomes the input side. The product is produced until the enzyme is in a balanced concentration of reactants and products.
What I'm saying is, you may be one of those lucky people who turns niacinamide straight into niacin, which aggravates the situation that is trying to be manipulated the other direction.
