Vitamin B3 Showing Promise of Being a Helpful, Natural Autism Treatment
As the number of people affected by Autism grows, so do the groundbreaking advancements. Autism isn’t a sentence for you or your loved one to lead an unfulfilled life. Researchers are constantly looking at different medications - specifically natural medicinal options - that may be able to alleviate some of the often uncomfortable symptoms of the puzzling disorder. Many Vitamins have proven benefits in Autism and other neurological disorders. More recently, Vitamin B3 has been a focal point for many studies concerning it’s affect on Autism.
As time passes, it is being found that Autism is not just a neurological disorder, but one that affects the entire body in various ways. Clearly, the brain is one of the most affected parts of the body, however, other symptoms of Autism are more focused on other areas. For example, an overly acidic stomach is one of the largely reported side-effects of Autism due to the imbalance of chemicals in the Autistic body.
Traditionally, vitamin B3 is taken to regulate circulation as well as keep skin looking it’s best. It has also been found that Vitamin B3 aids in the proper functioning of the nervous system, as well as brain function. Digestion and stomach acid issues are often reported in Autism cases. Vitamin B3 assists in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and aids in the production of hydrolic acid for the digestive system.
Vitamin B3 has also been prescribed to treat these other common conditions when given in the proper dosage:
High Cholesterol
Anxiety
Alcohol Withdrawal
Type 2 Diabetes
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperglycemia
In some recent studies, done by the Henry Ford Hospital, it was found that when given Vitamin B3 (also called niacin), rats who had a stroke showed new brain cell creation and this greatly improved neurological function. Essentially, it is believed that niacin in some sense re-wires the brain. With this advancement, Vitamin B3 could be a monumental help in those with stroke, Autism, or other devastating neurological disorders.
With all of the different techniques, medicines, and therapy choices, it’s often hard to make decisions on what treatment approach to take. While there is no official statement saying “B3 Treats Autism 100% Of the Time”, it’s important to note the logistics of it all. Undoubtedly, Vitamin B3 has a connection to the brain. There is a disorder, Pellagra, which is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B3 in the body. It is characterized by skin rash, loss of appetite and neurological effects. Though rare, it does exist and target the Western part of the world.
Where can one get Vitamin B3? There’s always taking a multivitamin or getting a supplement. Vitamin B3 is also found in Roasted Chicken Breast, yellowfin tuna, lean beef tenderloin, venison and roasted turkey breast.
Bottom line - it’s important that someone with Autism take supplements. The Autistic body is often deficient in several areas, and in order to maintain the best health possible, it’s important that you supplement these deficiencies. Take special note of which supplements are available for which symptoms, and be on the look out and ear out for new advancements. With more studies, Vitamin B3 could be a very big step in the direction of solving the mystery of Autism.

April 5th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
That seems viable to me since my daughters symptoms were minimal when she was very young, ie I could control her diet much more where as , as she got older and refused a sensible diet in favour of soft drinks and take frozen foods / takeouts , things declined !!! whils she is a lot more stable the weeks when she is refusing sensible food in favour of choclate and junk there is a marked difference in her so regarding circumstantial evidence alone it may appear to be effective.

Hi Martha, Thank YOU for the continuing support and we are glad to make a difference in someone life. Normally, B3 rich food includes: nuts, iver, soy flour, potatoes, beans, brewer’s yeast, dates, figs, eggs, green leafy vegetables, mushroom, organs meat, peas, poultry, prunes. Remember, even though you are dosing B3, you need to also take B complex to increas its absorption.

Hi Gaith, Please read my reply on this blog for sources of B3 and for the Kangen water, you need to buy a machine to make it. Call/email us for more info on the machine at yvette@newautismcure.com

Hello everybody, It is worth trying but just be aware that there would sometimes be a “flushing” effects on the body kinda of a warming effects due to the B3. Also, in large amount the liver might be affected and so you could take a break like after 2 months for the liver to regenerate. Make sure to get a physician when taking this especially if you have liver condition. Like I said before, take with B complex for best absorption. Take 400mg twice a day for under 120 pounds along with 50 mg B complex.

Can you let me know where I can get liquid version of B3 for my 5years old please
April 10th, 2010 at 1:05 am
Hi Panna, Not quite sure of a liquid B3 as most comes in slow-release tablet but you could crush it and mix with small amount of drink.
May 24th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
What will it taste like if I crush it. Is there a nasal form or patch. Currently we are taking b-12 patches. My children aren’t good with oral stuff.
June 7th, 2010 at 1:35 am
Hi Gretchen, I haven’t heard of a B3 nasal or patch form but I am sure any compounding pharmacy can come up with the idea. If you take the pill and crush them you could mix with his favourite drink.
