0:00 Introduction: The best natural remedy for ADD/ADHD
1:13 The benefits of vitamin B3
2:27 Vitamin B3 for ADD or ADHD symptoms
3:20 Niacinamide supplements
In this video, we’re going to talk about some fascinating data from the research of Dr. William Kaufman, M.D. He found that niacinamide in high doses is an effective remedy for ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
Vitamin B3 is the precursor for NAD, which helps your cells extract energy from food. When you eat, the NAD molecule helps take the electrons from your food and turn them into ATP for energy.
Vitamin B3 helps your nerve cells get more energy. It may help decrease hyperactivity and increase focus at the same time!
Nutrient deficiencies can cause the brain and nervous system to become hyperexcited. Niacinamide is a water-soluble version of vitamin B3 that can help energize your neurons and effectively mitigate ADD or ADHD symptoms.
Because niacinamide is water-soluble, it doesn’t stay in the body long. This means you should take about 250 mg six to eight times per day. This can also be effective for ADD or ADHD in children.
It’s also important to clean up your diet to help with the symptoms of ADD or ADHD. Niacinamide supplements cannot replace a healthy diet. Always check with your doctor before stopping your medications.

Thanks for watching! I hope this explains how niacinamide may be an effective remedy to help with symptoms of ADD or ADHD. I’ll see you in the next video.
Eat healthy, exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well ... That's what I've done and just celebrated my 85th birthday lately. 😊
Happy belated birthday!
That was basically the opposite of what i was doing until my 30s, now with help from guys like Dr Berg, i hope to make things right and sort of treat my body for making it this far under the conditions i constantly put it through, happy birthday! :)
Happy late Birthday 🎂🍰
Happy birthday ❤❤❤
Happy birthday 😊
Omg guys, I literally tried Niacinamide after seeing this video. In high doses like Dr Berg suggested. My ADHD is 100% gone, something that has never happened to me in my entire LIFE. This is a total 360 degree life change for me... Thank you thank you thank you. I feel focused and happy again.
High dosage amounts please?
@@lukus_gomlegi up until 2000 mg a day
Really?
What brand did you buy? I can’t find a good one.
@@willyouan6222 nowfoods
Ex ADHD Sufferer here; An even better form of Niacinamide that ive noticed even more is NMN. Gives a nice energetic zip in the morning and lasts a few hours. Then I stack that with N-Acetyl-L Tyrosine, Lions Mane and L-theanine . There’s a few more things in my stack but those are the key ingredients, hope this helps!
Would love to know what other items you take daily. I would like to research the. I heard wonderful things aboit lion main. If you don't mind sharing the other things you take, I would be greatly appreciative.
@@DivaDenfrom the link Dr Berg provided, "In his 1949 book, The Common Form of Joint Dysfunction, Kaufman published the details of his niacinamide arthritis treatment, which also incorporated the use of vitamin C, thiamin, and riboflavin, all in large doses."
@@DivaDenI saw a study recently that Lion's Mane is completely useless; I'll see if I can find it
there are fake studies thrown out there to prevent people from using cheap non patentable plants mushroom. For example: berberine vs weight loss drugs. let's share instead real life experiences of success, please.
What is NMN? So glad you have found something that helps.
I went on carnivore 2 months ago it literally changed my life.. I suffered from depression anxiety adhd anger the list goes on.. I finally feel like a productive human again its acutely pretty crazy.. I suffered for 20 years 😢
Recommendation of how to do carnivore? I have a lot of similar problems as well and don't know where to start.
I tried it for 30 days. First week I felt horrible, as expected. Similar to keto flu. Afterwards I felt really good and many of my small niggles decreased. But genuinely I just didn’t enjoy it. I got bored, felt thirsty all the time and really craved fruit. Like so much. So I didn’t continue.
@@cryptosunflower840Same for me. I felt miserable.
Check out my videos here on carnivore diet: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=carnivore%20diet
Hi great news it helped - could you speak a little about when you noticed a difference, what felt different?
Staying off of junk food and sugar is important. It’s also important to get daily exercise. Many children struggle because of these issues.
You're the parent, discipline
@@RT-bt5ql So many parents are addicted, distracted and stressed. Its tough to parent when they are in this state. I see families out, parents on phones while kids are running wild. Its a mess out there unfortunately
@@cheesecakefan4880 90% of this is the wrong diet. Clean carnivore fixes behavior.
True. Children too 👀 see what parents do.. Good way to go though 🤸♀️🙏🐕🦺 bless you too.🌱
@@cheesecakefan4880at least the kids are still active 😅🤸♀️👍
It is so typical that the FDA would much rather medicate us than make us healthy. I feel they've lost a lot of believers and we're headed in the right direction! Thanks for being a huge part in our education.🥰✌
Yeah... good ol' FDA. This is why I trust retired doctors.
Yeah, because old people cured cancer...
Actually black rock owns most of the vit companies. And they don't always make them good or change their recipes from what they once were.
@@tacticalcenter8658 do you have any links that prove that Blackrock owns most vitamin companies?
@@UpNorthWay ian Carroll
Dr. Berg! You are the best thing that happened to me on the internet. Thank you for all you do!
I appreciate your kind words. Happy to help!
FDA is not the gospel on supplements. Not at all. I'm thankful for dr. Berg who truly wants to help us.💓😄
WOW! I’m 67 and was finally diagnosed with adhd about 4 yrs ago. I was prescribed aderall but recently found it was elevating my BP to dangerous levels. I knew that could be the result but not until it was taken at the dr’s office did I realized how much it elevated my BP. So, now I’ll try this. Decades of living with adhd and it could have been as simple as taking B3; 250mg 6-8 X daily. My granddaughter takes it as well and as a collegiate swimmer she can’t take it during swim season, they burn in excess of 1,000 calories in one practice and during season they have 2-3 practices a day. It does diminish your appetite greatly. Next time 8 go to the grocery store guess what I’m buying?! Thank you for sharing this. Sending to my daughter.
Me too!!
Take Lion's mane mushroom powder it will calms the nerves for ADHD and for focus and depression and Alzheimer's and good for anger and do a heavy metal detox from your body
Decrease in appetite. That's what I need? lol
I'm 63 and was diagnosed about 6 months ago with ADD. It's a drag that it didn't happen sooner, but it's nice to finally have an answer.
Double check but I did a quick search online and it looks like Adderral depletes potassium. Potassium is the key mineral to lower blood pressure. It may also deplete B12 and Vitamin C. Hope this helps.

Dr Berg, thank you for presenting a solution for a difficult condition. We can choose to handle the childs' condition any way we see fit but it's wonderful to hear about a way that doesn't use drugs or cause side effects.
Thank you Dr.Berg & team for this information!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for taking your valuable time to share ❤
I'm so glad to help!

😩 I just got diagnosed with ADHD last year at 43 yrs old. I’m up at almost 3 am realizing that ADHD is the reason why I can’t sleep now that I watched this video.
Loving the new studio 🎙
I had a late diagnosis for both ADHD and Aspergers, by chance I tried Keto and found not only did I lose a lot of fat but Keto helped with my mental being too. Thank you for your great uploads, best wishes to yourself,loved ones and fellow viewers ❤❤❤.
Same diagnosis for me! Try taking 500mg of L-Tyrosine in the morning with food and a multivitamin. Helps me tremendously throughout the day with staying calm and focused.
Did you get any auditing as well?
@@DillPhobia Thank you, will try. Best wishes.
Thanks for the info doc. It will help my nephew.
Happy that you found it useful!
Doctor Berg, I send my utmost respect to you from Pakistan. May God bless you.

It was nothing at all. Thank you!
Thank you always for these informations.
This is wonderful to know, Dr Berg. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
That's amazing to hear!
Awesome info video thanks for sharing
It was nothing at all.
Holy crap! I started taking this dosage last week after watching your video on detoxing off benzos. (Which btw, worked! I was highly skeptical, ive been subscribed them since i was 15yo, thank you) Anyway, during the detox process i also noticed that i had exactly ZERO ADHD symptoms this last week, i thought it must be a coincidence. This has truly been a miracle!
Can it worsen anxiety? I have ptsd and adhd and taking so much b3 sounds so terrifying to me
i hUv tPsD, aDd, dEprEsSiOn aNd uNxIeTy 🥴
@@smolsmol1159 OMG NO! I feel like I've been roofied 😆 I'm legit sedated and chill 20 minutes after 500mg, and I can take them as
Often as needed because they're water soluble
@lilithcain which video did you watch about detoxing off benzodiazepines?
Thank you so much for this. I was recently diagnosed, but I've known there was something wrong my whole life. I'm going to start this immediately. I have been having the sleep trouble exactly as you said. 👍🏻🙏

You're very welcome!
Thank you doctor for this informations, please would make part 2 about the connection between ADHD and OCD , I have both, this is extremely frustrating 😢
Thank you so much for helping us !

You are a very good teacher thank u
Dr berg em here from south asia i want u to keep making content related to adhd bring more information here n I hope you stay healthy n happy
Hi Dr Berg Thank you for this video. My son cannot focus when he is in class. This information is very helpful. Once again thank you!
I have come to the conclusion that Dr. Bergs advice best fits my goals and needs. This video is just another example of a recommendation you won't ever hear of in traditional treatment plans. The sinus video is also something I want to try, garlic oil etc.
Thanks so much for sharing this, keep going. Glad it helps!
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing this incredible video. May God blessed you and your family!
Glad to know that you liked this post!
Thank you for your good advice. 😊
I hope that helps!
Thx Dr Berg ❤ You help so many people with your knowledge 😊
My pleasure!
👍🏼 My friend will appreciate this information when I share the video. Thank you Dr.Berg 😃
Alright, thank you!
I was about to watch this video last week, but I got distracted and forgot... I need to go for a run before watch this to absorb properly
Your videos are always appreciated. Thank you so much, Dr Berg 😊❤
Thank you kindly! Glad I could assist.
Love you Dr. Berg!, Blessings from here to heaven!
Nice video Dr. Berg. You're a good person.
How to know that if I am suffering from adhd ??
Thanks so much, appreciate the support.
@@jigsaw2281being chaotic as opposed to orderly was a key indicator for me. But imo it's fixable w diet. I just havent delved into that much yet.
Good information sir 🎉
Thanks.
I like this vid.Good insight.
Many thanks!
Thank you Dr. Berg. God bless 😊
Thank you, Doc!!
Sure thing.
it’s crazy, it’s like every time I have a thought, Dr. Berg comes out with some video that pertains to that thought
Thanks doc ❤️
Not a problem at all.
Wonderful thank you Eric
Thanks for listening
@@Drberg I have recommended your channel to my girlfriend and several of my friends
Dr. Berg thank you for all your knowledge!how does a vitamin b complex plus compare to just the B3 as niacinamide? Pure encapsulations has a b complex plus with 108mg of B3 (niacinamide) along with Thiamin-100mg, Riboflavin-12.7mg, Vitamin B6-16.7, Folate-667 mcg, Vitamin B12 400 mcg, Biotin-400 mcg, Pantothenic acid-100mg. Or is the vitamin B3 by itself better suited to treating ADHD?
thank you dr.
You got it! Thanks for watching!
Could you make a video explaining nutrient pairs and non-pairs? It would be great to learn more about how certain nutrients interact with each other and how we can optimize their benefits in our diet.
Thanks for the video suggestion!
Yesssss @@Drberg please do this one I've been interested in this topic lately! Please please! 😭
Thanks Doctor Berg
You're welcome. Glad to share this video.
Thanks Dr Berg!
Thank U Dr 💓 Eric Berg for your informations and Your time
You're most welcome!
Thankyou Dr Berg, i will try with my child, if any particular brand you would recommend?
Great info as always. Makes me wonder how similar mechanisms may influence Obsessive Compulsive - type issues.
Yes. I’m sure they’re related.
Please,, explain OCD, & vitamin B3?. Thank you ahead of time.😊
@@Nancy-cm1rh No idea, sorry. Just wondered if there was some vitamin or mineral deficiency that may also exacerbate OCD.
So many things can cause adhd symptoms: 1) Improper sleep (sleep apnea issues). 2) Primitive reflexes that have not been integrated. There are simple exercises that can help with this. 3) Nutritional deficiencies. 4) Processed food, preservatives (they're in so much stuff, and not always labeled...like peanut butter and nut butters, butter, dried fruits) and food dyes. Avoid fluoride water (city water usually has flouride). Leaky gut has a connection with ADHD as well.
Thanks I was thinking the same, was taking Niacinamide for a month. I am trying to weigh the effects over continous use and i note that perhaps i can still get distracted but maybe it is working slightly
😊 thank you very much doc.You are such an angel.
Sadly I just reconfirmed I have add/adhd by seeing Dr Berg had two different videos on this subject and I chose the shorter one. Thank you Dr Berg, you have helped me in so many ways with many many issues in my life. I am just realizing after a lifetime that I am adhd and never realized it until a few days ago.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Doc
You're welcome!
@@DrbergI suffering from gas what to do ...gas trapped in my chest area all the time what to do ??
Thank you and God bless 👍🏻
This is a better video. Dr Berg before was very skeptical of ADHD and ignored any real science/studies, but his tone is more acknowledging of ADHD this time. Great video and I am excited about any new natural ways!
I find that very hard to believe.
@@annethompson4428 literally watch any of his previous ADHD videos. Come back with a reply when you do
@@annethompson4428 watch his other videos about ADHD and report back with your thoughts!
Because ADHD is not a congenital disease, is something that can be fixed easily by many ways. Very different of what the pharmaceutical industry and others say.
@@codniggh1139 Any evidence? Studies?
I'll give it a shot. The problem i have is eating a healthy diet, if im feeling down and have no motivation most of the time I'm gonna opt for the junk food as i literally don't have the energy, patience or focus to be able to buy healthy food and cook a healthy meal. Or even clean the kitchen enough to be able to cook at all!
A clean carnivore diet will give you food freedom and keep you satisfied.
Understandable with low energy and no motivation. At the end of the day, YOU CHOOSE
Doc, I am looking for the right B3 for my daughter she's 10 and has severe ADD/ADHD since birth. We started giving her Complex Vitamin B and D3 with high doses since 4 months now and there is drastic change in her movement and behavior (calmed down and communicating more often). May Allah bless you for all your efforts.
Omega-3 high dose DHA (1000MG) and also for calming, better sleep and even anti angst use theanine, can also combine with reishi and ashwagandha powder.
I would love to see videos on natural vs synthetic and the best sources for all vitamins.. I know you know done a, e and a few b’s
Dr Berg please do video on urinary hesitancy.
I do not have a specific video on this topic however you may find this video helpful: kzhead.info/sun/hrmJnLuonWisjGw/bejne.html
Hello Dr. Eric please make video on Asperger syndrome, Autism and ADHD remedy
Thank you Dr.BERG
Sure thing! Have a nice day!
dr berg, this works! over the last 4 months i tried everything to fix this exact strange sleeping problem. nothing worked, this works. i feel a glow the whole day, and somehow my energy is stable during the day. even coffee and sugar cravings stopped. THANK YOU, ARC, joost
Glad this helped you. Thanks for trying this out.
Thank you Dr. Berg sending love (while we still can lol) from 🇨🇦 We/ I sincerely appreciate your knowledge and expertise 🙏❤️
I will definitely be trying this. Like a lot of women, I was not diagnosed with ADHD until my late 30s. We associate the disorder with a lot of the male systems of the H the hyperactivity and in females the H is not as common as is the inability to finish things. Dexedrine is effective but I have anxiety taking it lol I would love to try a natural treatment option. Thank you!
I just watched a video you did about niacin and addiction, especially to alcohol.
Can you make a video like this for dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorder please ?
Dear Dr.Eric Berg, please devote an video to talk about the cause of varicocele and how to treat it, especially mild varicocele...I have the mild one, I prefer your advised please tell us about treatment
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
You're welcome!
Magnesium also helps. Great before bed to create a state of calm.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!
You're most welcome!
Anytime!
Hi Dr Berg. I love your videos and I often share your videos with my family and friends. In a few of your videos you talk of taking Vitamin K2 with magnesium and vitamin D3. I see there are 2 different types. Mk4 and Mk7. Which would you recommend as the better one. I’m not vegan either. Thank you
Thank you.
No problem. Happy to share this.
What if I’m currently taking Niacin to lower my bad cholesterol? Can I take both Niacin and Niacinamide?
Thank you
Most welcome!
Thank you for this video. Do you think B3 could be beneficial for Tourette syndrome?
Interesting information Dr, what about for children who have been diagnosed with ADHD? Or even global developmental delays?
Clean carnivore diet. Lots of fatty red meat. It worked for me and many others.
Dr Berg, could you please do a video about NMN and where we can buy it safely if it’s good for us? Thank you 🙏🏼
정말 정말 감사합니다
You're welcome. Thanks for watching the video.
Hi Dr. Berg, would you be able to suggest one as well please.
