#vitamin B3 deficiency

[thebibliosphere]

Is it normal to feel more energetic, but also more anxious when starting vitamin b complex? Taking it for adhd bc I'm still waiting for my assessment, also have panic disorder which is medicated and diagnosed

One of the reasons I can’t take a b complex for my numerous b vitamin deficiencies is because niacin (b3) makes my anxiety go sky high. The amount in the complex formulations are just too high for me. It’s a pain in the ass but I take all my b’s separately to avoid it.

Usual disclaimer: I’m not a doctor just a sick bitch with a lot of weird stuff going on. Talk to your doctor about any concerns etc, etc.

Hope your assessment goes well!

Severe deficiencies in iron and vitamin D

Psychological symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Further testing recommended.

Ema hates this.

She was supposed to feel better once she got away. That was supposed to fix it. Getting away was so so hard, and it's not even over?

Ema hates this.

"It's not so bad." Tom says. "It could be worse."

That's not very helpful. "Neurological damage doesn't go away. I'm going to have this for the rest of my life."

"Well... yeah, but now we know. I should've noticed earlier, it was obvious. I can't believe I didn't notice..."

Tom sounds annoyed. Ema tucks her knees under her chin.

"It'll get better. I think it would help to do some physical therapy. And psychological therapy. And the vitamin and mineral deficiencies, that's easy! I mean it sucks that we didn't know before, but we know now. Oh, we should also take you to a dentist. What's wrong?"

Ema is ineffectively trying to blink back tears. "I thought I was going to be okay. I thought it was over." "But this is good! These things were wrong before, but now that we know about them we can fix them or make them better. Wouldn't it be worse if all those symptoms of deficiencies and damage and stuff were just how things were going to be for the rest of your life?"

Ema hates this. "I don't- I can't-" She takes a shuddering breath, afraid she'll start crying if she tries to talk more.

"It's okay. You're okay. I really think you should see a therapist though. I... don't know what to say to help you feel better."

Ema grips her hair tightly. She hates this, she hates this so much. "I don't want to go to therapy! I don't want to talk about it! I want it to be over!"

"I- I don't know- Ema, it's okay."

Ema is sobbing in earnest and Tom is getting annoyed with her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"You didn't do anything wrong. I just- I'm not good at this!"

He's mad at her he's mad at her-

"I- I think I'm making this worse, so I'm going to- to go. And then when you're feeling better we can talk about how I can, like, help you the next time you feel this way, okay?"

Tom waits for her to answer, but leaves when she doesn't, and Ema doesn't stop him. He's just in the other room, but it does help Ema feel better, which makes her feel a bit guilty. It's just easier when she can focus on calming herself down instead of trying to calm Tom down.

She feels so pathetic. She's been crying more since she escaped than she ever did in captivity.

Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap.

She's safe. She's okay. And Tom is right, now she knows some ways to feel better. She shouldn't feel this way.

When Ema's crying has slowed to only an occasional sniffle, Tom comes back.

"Are you okay? Are you- did that help? It seems like it helped, for me to leave, but I felt really bad for just... leaving you, while you were upset."

"It helped. I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Tom doesn't sound annoyed. Just... sad.

"I... don't think there's anything you can do, if that happens again. I don't know why I started crying. Everything you said was right."

"Well, someone can be right and still be a dick."

"You weren't being a dick."

Tom is quiet for a moment. "You started crying when I brought up therapy. Should I... not bring that up?"

"No, you can bring it up. I don't know why it freaked me out."

"You said you don't want to talk about what happened. Does the idea of therapy make you feel stressed? You don't have to talk about the past at all with a therapist if you don't want to. I mean, you probably will eventually, but not until you feel comfortable with it. A good therapist will respect your wishes." Tap tap tap. "I don't know. I guess. I just want it to be over. I want to never think about it again."

"I... don't think that's possible."

Ema buries her face in her hands and sobs.

"Would it help if I touched you? Like, gave you a hug or something. Or would you rather not be touched?"

"Please don't touch me."

"Okay. So I know some things that don't help now, at least. Um... so, do you want to try therapy? Helping people find therapists is something I'm good at. You wouldn't have to talk about anything you didn't want to. And hey, I'm not a therapist, maybe I'm wrong that you'll have to think about it. Maybe a therapist can teach you how to not think about it. I don't know."

"I think... I've been emotional because of the deficiencies. I want to try getting more of those vitamins and stuff in, and maybe try physical therapy, and then see how I feel."

"I think you're going to need therapy no matter what. You've been through a lot."

Ema starts to tear up again.

"But... it can wait. I don't like to put these things off, but... this isn't about me. I don't know a lot about therapy, but I know that it doesn't work very well if you feel forced into it."

"...Thank you."

"Do you want help making a meal plan? To get the vitamins you need in? And I can look into what supplements you should be taking, that stuff's all unregulated so I don't think you just grab the first thing that says vitamin supplement, y'know?"

That... sounds nice. Not having to do it herself sounds nice. "I would like that."

Maize: From Mexico to the world

For Mexicans, the “children of corn,” maize is entwined in life, history and tradition. It is not just a crop; it is central to their identity. By Matthew O'Leary  May 20, 2016

EL BATAN, Mexico (CIMMYT) – For Mexicans, the “children of corn,” maize is entwined in life, history and tradition. It is not just a crop; it is central to their identity.

Even today, despite political and economic policies that have led Mexico to import one-third of its maize, maize farming continues to be deeply woven into the traditions and culture of rural communities. Furthermore, maize production and pricing are important to both food security and political stability in Mexico.

One of humanity’s greatest agronomic achievements, maize is the most widely produced crop in the world. According to the head of CIMMYT’s maize germplasm bank, senior scientist Denise Costich, there is broad scientific consensus that maize originated in Mexico, which is home to a rich diversity of varieties that has evolved over thousands of years of domestication.

The miracle of maize’s birth is widely debated in science. However, it is agreed that teosinte (a type of grass) is one of its genetic ancestors. What is unique is that maize’s evolution advanced at the hands of farmers. Ancient Mesoamerican farmers realized this genetic mutation of teosinte resembled food and saved seeds from their best cobs to plant the next crop. Through generations of selective breeding based on the varying preferences of farmers and influenced by different climates and geography, maize evolved into a plant species full of diversity.

The term “maize” is derived from the ancient word mahiz from the Taino language (a now extinct Arawakan language) of the indigenous people of pre-Columbian America. Archeological evidence indicates Mexico’s ancient Mayan, Aztec and Olmec civilizations depended on maize as the basis of their diet and was their most revered crop.

As Popol Vuh, the Mayan creation story, goes, the creator deities made the first humans from white maize hidden inside a mountain under an immovable rock. To access this maize seed, a rain deity split open the rock using a bolt of lightning in the form of an axe. This burned some of the maize, creating the other three grain colors, yellow, black and red. The creator deities took the grain and ground it into dough and used it to produce humankind.

Many Mesoamerican legends revolve around maize, and its image appears in the region’s crafts, murals and hieroglyphs. Mayas even prayed to maize gods to ensure lush crops: the tonsured maize god’s head symbolizes a maize cob, with a small crest of hair representing the tassel. The foliated maize god represents a still young, tender, green maize ear.

Maize was the staple food in ancient Mesoamerica and fed both nobles and commoners. They even developed a way of processing it to improve quality. Nixtamalization is the Nahuatl word for steeping and cooking maize in water to which ash or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) has been added. Nixtamalized maize is more easily ground and has greater nutritional value, for the process makes vitamin B3 more bioavailable and reduces mycotoxins. Nixtamalization is still used today and CIMMYT is currently promoting it in Africa to combat nutrient deficiency.

White hybrid maize (produced through cross pollination) in Mexico has been bred for making tortillas with good industrial quality and taste. However, many Mexicans consider tortillas made from landraces (native maize varieties) to be the gold standard of quality.

“Many farmers, even those growing hybrid maize for sale, still grow small patches of the local maize landrace for home consumption,” noted CIMMYT Landrace Improvement Coordinator Martha Willcox. “However, as people migrate away from farms, and the number of hectares of landraces decrease, the biodiversity of maize suffers.”

Diversity at the heart of Mexican maize

The high level of maize diversity in Mexico is due to its varied geography and culture. As farmers selected the best maize for their specific environments and uses, maize diverged into distinct races, according to Costich. At present there are 59 unique Mexican landraces recorded.

I got massively high dose nicotinamide (vitamin b3) and thiamine (b1) tablets to take daily because apparently what my brain was convinced was early onset Parkinsons disease (it's in my family I'm at high risk) was just a b vitamin deficiency. Like I'm serious we have numb or tingling extremities, muscle spasms and jerks, shaking, loss of motor control, brain fog, memory issues, mental confusion, aphasia, (all typical adhd symptoms, the cognitive ones not the physical ones, but dialed up so high I was becoming convinced I somehow acquired a tbi) and a drastic increase in allodynia (spelling? It's an increased sensitivity to tactile stimulus that makes things that shouldn't be painful at all painful, I'm talking resting my hand lightly on a rough surface hurts like someone is digging their nails into my palm) and it's a fucking. Vitamin deficiency.

So I'm on day 2 taking the two supplements at like, 10 times the dose you'd see in an otc multivitamin, and of course I know I shouldn't expect immediate change but it's still frustrating when you do something about your health and it doesn't immediately fix everything. Most notably when you forget to caption photos for an article before submitting it. That's like running for a home run and forgetting to actually hit the ball beforehand. Or like, submitting tax returns before paying any taxes at all.

So I get the article back on my desk and the news editor is like "these don't have captions???" and I'm like oh duh, they gotta have captions, can the b vitamins do their thing already? (I have to wait like 2 weeks before I see a difference).

Anyway the point I was trying to make is twofold, think horses not zebras is sometimes applicable, and you gotta give a treatment time to work.

ALLATRA Volunteers Care About People's Health. The Sun is Heating Up, and That's Dangerous!

We've already established that our health depends not only on our lifestyle and stress levels, but also on our surrounding environment. This means ecology and climate.

Due to the rapidly occurring climate changes both on our planet and on all other objects in the solar system:

The Sun's activity is increasing;

Earth's natural magnetic field has already decreased by 9%;

As a result:

   Geomagnetic storms are becoming more frequent. (They lead to the exacerbation of diseases, the occurrence of swelling, headaches, and pressure surges.)

The ozone layer, which protects life on the planet from dangerous excessive ultraviolet radiation (solar radiation), is rapidly deteriorating.

Our organism is exposed to a condition that the Japanese scientist and doctor Kiyochi Nakagawa identified as:

"Human Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome."

## What is Important to Know About the Effects of Solar Radiation on Humans During Climate Change:

It has a carcinogenic effect, it can trigger the development of oncology;

It suppresses the immune system;

It leads to the formation of free radicals;

It damages the skin;

It leads to the development of infections, especially fungal and viral ones.

What to Do:

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially if you have active infections, skin diseases, or serious chronic illnesses;

Protect your eyes and wear quality sunglasses;

Apply a good sunscreen to your skin, with a high SPF;

Wear clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible from direct sunlight;

Regularly take various antioxidants that will protect us from free radicals;

There are actually many of them, for example, vitamins A, E, C, B3, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and many others.

On Days of High Solar Activity:

Avoid disruptions in your sleep schedule, and trips with long flights.

It is desirable to be outdoors more often,

Drink plenty of clean water!

Absolutely no alcohol consumption

Due to the intense production of adrenaline, magnetic storms can cause increased appetite. In this case, do not get carried away with meat and starchy foods, it is better to give preference to green vegetables, berries, fish.

Unfortunately, in the near future, we will increasingly encounter manifestations of changes in the magnetic field and various atypical anomalies around the planet, which is associated with global changes in the MF.

Isn't it time to take the growing climate threat seriously and unite the scientific potential of humanity before the climate destroys us all?

Friends, we, the ALLATRA volunteers, warn you about the upcoming geoanomalies. 

Be vigilant, be attentive to your health, monitor your diet, and get more rest if possible. Take care of your family and loved ones. Take care of yourselves! Maintain a calm, relaxed state and a positive attitude - this will minimize the negative impact of magnetic storms.

Take care of yourselves and be healthy!

Please be sure to share this, write a comment, like, repost, and of course, give applause!!!

Multivitamins for Men over 50: Why Do You Need Multivitamins as You Age?

As men age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their overall health and nutritional needs. During such times, incorporating multivitamins into your routine can help maintain vitality and address those nutritional gaps.

In this blog, we’ll explore the challenges that men face as they turn 50, their evolving health requirements, and how best multivitamin tablets for men can help them regain their vitality and zest for life.

The Health Issues for Men Face at 50

High Blood Pressure:

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the prevalence of age-adjusted hypertension or high blood pressure was 45.4% among adults during the 2017-2018 survey period, with men having a higher rate (51.0%) compared to women (39.7%).

High blood pressure not only strains arteries but also increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney issues.

Heart Disease:

Your heart is crucial to your overall health, but as you age, it may need more support. Heart-related issues become more prevalent, from cholesterol build-up in arteries to chronic heart disease and strokes.

Diabetes:

Diabetes can become a concern, especially with age. The Indian Journal of Ophthalmology reported in 2019 that approximately 77 million people in India had diabetes, a number projected to exceed 134 million by 2045.

Factors like decreased physical activity, weight gain, and hormonal changes can increase the risk of diabetes in men over 50.

Fatigue and Loss of Energy:

Managing career ambitions, family responsibilities, and staying active can drain your energy levels. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) can make daily activities challenging, affecting overall quality of life.

How Can You Safeguard Your Health?

If you're already worried about your health in your 50s, don't panic! There are several steps you can take to enhance your well-being and enjoy life even more. Here are some tips to improve your daily routine:

1. Work Out:

Regular exercise doesn't have to mean intense gym sessions. Activities like walking in the park, practising yoga, or meditation can help maintain fitness levels and reduce stress.

2. Eat Smart:

Balanced nutrition is key. Avoid junk and fried foods, and focus on lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish), whole grains (berries, leafy greens, broccoli), healthy fats (avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil), and legumes.

3. Take Time for Yourself:

Navigating your 50s can be challenging, but it's also an opportunity for self-care. Engage in hobbies and activities that bring joy and support mental well-being.

What Can Multivitamins Do for You?

We understand fitting health tips into your busy life can be tough. But adding multivitamins to your routine can make it easier.

Here’s how they can help:

1. Heart Health:

Antioxidant Protection: Vitamins C and E neutralise free radicals, supporting cardiovascular health.

B Vitamins: B6, B12, and folic acid help reduce homocysteine levels linked to heart disease.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in some multivitamins, they can lower triglycerides and reduce heart disease risk.

2. Diabetes Management:

Blood Sugar Control: Chromium and magnesium aid insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar.

B Vitamins: Essential for energy production and managing diabetic symptoms.

Vitamin D:  Supports insulin sensitivity, reducing type 2 diabetes risk.

3. Combatting Fatigue:

Energy Production: B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12) boost metabolism and combat fatigue.

Iron: Prevents iron deficiency-related fatigue.

Vitamin C: Aids iron absorption and supports adrenal function.

Conclusion:

Multivitamins like Wellman 50 Plus for Men Tablet are tailored for men aged 50+, offering a comprehensive blend of over 30 essential nutrients.

These supplements support heart health, regulate blood sugar, boost energy levels, and enhance overall vitality. However, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

Before you reach for a pill, make sure it’s the right fit for your health needs.

Vitamin and Mineral Market Dynamics: Global Growth and Trends (2023-2032)

The Vitamin and Mineral Market is anticipated to expand from USD 24,425 million in 2024 to USD 31,327.46 million by 2032, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.16%.

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that the body needs to function correctly and maintain overall health. These micronutrients play crucial roles in various physiological processes, including immune function, energy production, bone health, and cellular repair. Vitamins, such as A, C, D, E, and the B-complex group, are organic compounds that generally must be obtained through diet or supplements, as the body either cannot produce them or does so in insufficient quantities. Minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, and zinc, are inorganic elements also necessary for proper bodily function, often involved in structural roles like bone formation, as well as regulatory activities like maintaining fluid balance and supporting nerve transmission. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins typically provides an adequate supply of these nutrients, though supplementation may be necessary in certain circumstances to address deficiencies or specific health needs.

How Vitamins and Minerals Help the Human Body

Vitamins and minerals are vital to maintaining the health and well-being of the human body, each playing unique and crucial roles in various bodily functions:

Bone Health: Calcium and vitamin D are critical for maintaining strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, while magnesium and phosphorus are also important for bone structure and strength.

Cellular Repair and Growth: Vitamin A is vital for cell growth and development, while vitamin C is crucial for the synthesis of collagen, which is necessary for wound healing and maintaining the integrity of skin, cartilage, and blood vessels.

Antioxidant Protection: Vitamins C and E act as antioxidants, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. This helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Blood Health: Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting, and vitamin B12 and folate are necessary for the production of red blood cells.

Nervous System Function: Vitamins B6, B12, and folate are vital for brain function and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Magnesium and potassium are important for nerve transmission and muscle contraction.

Skin Health: Vitamins A, C, and E are important for skin health. Vitamin A supports cell production and repair, vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis, and vitamin E protects skin cells from oxidative damage.

Vision: Vitamin A is essential for maintaining good vision, especially in low-light conditions. It is a component of the protein rhodopsin, which helps the retina absorb light.

How Marketing Tricks Us

Adult Packaging:

Companies use flashy fonts and vibrant colors to catch our eye and make us think their products are something special. - (Because who can resist a shiny, shiny bottle, right?)

Misleading Claims:

Ever seen a drink that boasts "all-natural" or "superfood-infused" on its label? Yeah, those words don’t always mean what you think you are. (Hint: Read the fine print.)

Celebrity Endorsements:

When your favorite celeb asks you to drink something, it has to be good, right?

(Newsflash: they get paid to say so.)

Subliminal Messaging:

Have you ever noticed how some ads make you feel like you’re missing out if you don’t buy their product? (Don’t fall for the FOMO trap.)

Health Halo Effect:

Just saying "vitamins" or "minerals" doesn't mean you're healthy. (That’s sugary stuff, though)

Emotional Appeal:

Advertising often plays on our emotions, making us feel that we need their product to be happy, successful, or loved.

Limited Edition Hype:

Ever rush to buy something because it says "limited edition"? (Trust me, there will always be new limited editions.)

Price Point Psychology:

Ever wonder why some drinks are more expensive than others? It's all about perceived value. 

(But seriously, $5 for water?)

Buzzword Overload:

Words like "organic," "detox," and "superfood" get thrown around a lot. But do they really mean anything? (Not always.)

A Guide to Niacin: Plant-based Food Sources, Supplements, and Dosing

Among them are metabolism, nervous system health, and DNA repair. Despite being significant sources of niacin, meat, fish, and dairy products may not be suitable for certain people due to dietary preferences, allergies, or sensitivities. Niacin can be obtained from a range of plant-based sources for those who choose not to consume animal products. These meet dietary needs and provide an alternative method of treating niacin deficiency.

Niacin, or vitamin B3, has been demonstrated to have remarkable effects on cholesterol management and heart health. However, it is important to understand the many forms of niacin and how the body uses them. Nicotinic acid, commonly known as flushing niacin, is the form of niacin that is most helpful in lowering cholesterol and heart disease. Vasodilation and cholesterol control are aided by more nicotinic acid. Unlike other forms of the vitamin, such as NAD or inositol hexanicotinate, flushing niacin requires high dosages for its vasodilation effects, which are essential in controlling lipoproteins and cholesterol levels.

What are the best vitamins for mental health?

Several vitamins play crucial roles in supporting mental health. Here are some of the best vitamins known for their positive effects on mental well-being:

Vitamin B Complex: This group of vitamins includes B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin). They are essential for nerve function, mood regulation, and energy production.

Vitamin D: Often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D plays a role in regulating mood and reducing the risk of depression. It is synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and can also be obtained from certain foods and supplements.

Vitamin C: As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps combat oxidative stress in the brain and supports the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which is crucial for mood regulation.

Vitamin E: Another antioxidant, vitamin E protects brain cells from damage caused by free radicals and may help slow cognitive decline associated with aging.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: While not vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are essential nutrients for brain health. They play a role in neurotransmitter function and can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Magnesium: Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including those related to mood regulation and stress management. It may help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Zinc: Zinc is important for neurotransmitter function and may help regulate mood. Low levels of zinc have been linked to depression and anxiety disorders.

Iron: Iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, cognitive impairment, and mood disturbances. Ensuring an adequate intake of iron is important for maintaining mental well-being.

It’s important to note that while vitamins can play a significant role in supporting mental health, they should not replace professional treatment for mental health conditions. If you’re experiencing persistent mental health issues, it’s essential to seek guidance from a healthcare professional. They can help diagnose any underlying issues and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and dietary modifications.
