And how introducing it at the wrong time could derail your progress
Vitamin B3, otherwise known as niacin, and it deserves prestigious status as a “super” molecule when activated in the body as NAD+. In this form, it's involved in repair of damaged DNA that contributes to cellular aging, mitochondrial regeneration, and brain health & neuropathic dysfunction, just to name a few. It’s even helpful for hormone balance, new research indicates, which is a key root cause of dry eye disease in some individuals [1].
Taking a B-complex is likely not enough. Research has shown that certain forms of the vitamin more efficiently boost NAD+ and therefore you reap the cellular benefits. These include NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) and NMN (Nicotinamide Mono Nucleotide).
Here at dry eye nutrition, we have weaved this support into the plan with specific timing in mind, since it has powerful effects on all cells in the body, including immune cells. NAD+ does boost anti-inflammatory mechanisms (e.g. inflammasomes). But before you turn the key, you may want to make sure you know where the car is pointed. Meaning, clean up the gut, and work on the immune system so it isn’t attacking wrong things. Then, you have a clearer path to “rev” up the cellular engines.
