Summary

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a vitamin that can help relieve symptoms of arthritis. Arthritis involves inflammation, breakdown of cartilage, stiffness, and pain.

People often take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to get rid of the pain associated with arthritis, but NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and kidney problems. Steroids for pain can destroy your joints and lower your immune system.

This incredible remedy for arthritis is a precursor for NAD. NAD is a helper molecule that helps turn food into energy and is involved in over 400 different genes.

Signs of an NAD deficiency can include:

1. Low collagen repair

2. Inflammation

3. Fatigue

4. Muscle pain, muscle weakness, muscle loss

5. Metabolic diseases

6. Aging faster than normal

7. Lowered immune system

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is the best vitamin for arthritis. Try taking around 100 to 150 milligrams of niacinamide 3 to 6 times per day, depending on the severity of your arthritis.

Ensure you’re consuming sufficient protein for niacinamide to help with your arthritis symptoms, and it’s also best to avoid alcohol.

Tryptophan can also turn into vitamin B3, but the mechanism is not very efficient. Niacinamide is a non-toxic, effective, and affordable remedy for arthritis!

0:00.0	I'm going to share with you the absolute best vitamin for arthritis and I'm not talking about
0:08.7	vitamin D. Vitamin D is great, but there's something else. That's amazing amazing I stumbled on this by accident I was
0:15.2	taking this vitamin I never took it before go to sleep wake up and I just noticed like
0:21.4	all this stiffness that would normally have because of all the
0:24.7	injuries to my spine it's like someone to put W.D.40 in my joints I'm like why am I
0:30.3	feeling so loose? So I'm like, oh, I took that vitamin the day before. So with arthritis, you have
0:37.0	inflammation, breakdown of the cartilage, you have wear and tear, you have pain. People are taking
0:42.2	insides to get rid of inflammation.
0:45.2	The problem is there's some side effects, GI bleeding, ulcers, kidney problems, things like that.
0:50.3	If you take a steroid, the side effect is it'll destroy your joints, it will lower your immune system.
0:55.4	So is there something that you could take that doesn't have these adverse effects?
1:00.1	And the answer is yes, specifically in the mitochondria and it's a precursor to this
1:06.7	molecule called N-A-D. N-A-D is kind of a helper molecule for turning food into energy like ATP.
1:18.6	And so we're talking about about chemistry here.
1:21.3	We're talking about helping move these things called
1:25.0	electrons which are really unusable until you package them into a certain
1:29.8	energy form. So that's what NAD helps you with. And NAD is involved in over 400
1:36.9	different genes. So it's a really important molecule and I'm going to talk
1:42.1	about first what happens when you're deficient in NAD.
1:45.0	All right, number one, you're going to have low collagen repair.
1:49.2	Number two, you're going to have inflammation.
1:52.0	Number three, you're going to have fatigue because you're not going to be able to make energy.
