Vitamin B3 study explores how body handles supplement during illness
NCT ID NCT07156929
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how a special form of vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) is processed in 28 patients with low tryptophan levels due to respiratory infections or inflammatory bowel disease. Participants took either 500 mg or 1000 mg of the supplement daily for four weeks. The main goal was to measure changes in vitamin B3 and related substances in the blood, not to test if it treats the disease.
