I know a person who has been taking large doses(3000 mg daily) of niacinamide for some time and
whose homocysteine levels have risen sharply (from 11 to 26). I've seen references to niacinamide
"absorbing" methyl groups. High homocysteine levels are usually associated with insufficient
methylation. Anybody have any information on this?

Note that this is niacinamide(AKA nicotinamide) as opposed to niacin. Niacin is known to raise
homocysteine levels but niacinamide is supposed to generally behave differently from niacin. Any
ideas on this?

SAM-e is known for raising methylation. Costco sells NatureMade brand SAM-e for a good price and its
SAM-e is made from the most reputable raw material. If I remember correctly, the best way to take it
is on empty stomach with plenty of water. You should search for more about info about it including
how much to take(if available?).

Thanks,but what I'm really trying to find out is if the high niacinamide consumption is causing the
high homocysteine levels or if I should look for another cause. This way I know whether to recommend
the discontinuance of the niacinamide or not.

Homocystein is a amino acids and it is in the meantime an own riscfactor for arteriosklerose an
there following ills. Vitamin B 6, B12 und B10 (Folsäure) and oxygen have an postiive effekt against
a high homocysteine level.Vitamin C protect arterios Is the homocysteinl evel under 10 it is less
risk to get arteriosclerosis, heart- and brainapoplexie.
