I was asked privately where I can find vitamin B3 as niacinamide for alleviating anxiety symptoms.

Because this topic may interest many people, I will post a link on  niacinamide being helpful for anxiety: orthomolecular.org/library/jom/2004/pdf/2004-v19n02-p104.pdf
I am normally using capsules of 500mg niacinamide that I buy either from Amazon or from my local health shop. Some pharmacies may also stock Solgar 550mg niacinamide (also known as nicotinamide). To alleviate anxiety someone may try the 250 mg niacinamide pill available at Holland and Barrett. If one pill is not enough, double the dose (500mg in one go). Niacinamide is not toxic even in large dosage of 3-4 grams that Dr Abram Hoffer was routinely giving to his patients (read Niacin , the true story)
B3 is also found as niacin (nicotinic acid) but large doses give a flush that people may take for side effect or intolerance. It is just a temporary vasodilatation which is not harmful but many people cannot tolerate it. Niacin has also a calming effect (at least on me) but I stick to niacinamide if only the anti-anxiety effect is sought.

I'm a strong believer in using vitamins / minerals and enzymes for healing and have found Natures Best a good supplier too. Their products are made in the UK, usually guaranteeing a decent quality.

When you first mentioned this about 4-5 weeks ago I realised that I had been taking a vit B complex for years and had stopped it about 2 years ago when I started taking some (useless) expensive multi vit. I restarted the vit B and added in B3 and since then I have felt a lot more energetic and able to do a lot more. I certainly feel brighter. Coincidence or what? I shall continue taking them!
