Met a guy on a train………..

….and we got talking about recumbent bikes and arthritis and he handed me a wee booklet about Arthritis and niacinamide( not niacin) has anyone got any experience of this vitamin (B3)????

My usual source of information is the NHS website, it says this ….

Vitamins and minerals - B vitamins and folic acid

Find out about the types of B vitamins (including folic acid), such as what they do, how much you need and good sources of them.

Niacinamide doesent cause vasdilatation and flushing as niacin does.

It’s just that this guy said he is only still alive and cycling his home made battery powered recumbent because of niacinamide vitamin b3 and nobody has heard about it!
edit forgot to say he was badly affected by arthritis.

My recumbent is for sale on the classifieds much better than a box of pills.

I'd be skeptical. B3 is very well studied. Seems unlikely that it's a silver bullet for arthritis or we would have noticed by now.
