High dose vitamin B

High dose vitamin B, specifically B3, has been researched for its potential benefits in the field of glaucoma and optic nerve degenerative diseases. Studies have found that B3 could significantly influence the NAD synthesis pathway, which plays a crucial role in oxidative stress regulation and energy metabolism of cells. Clinical trials have shown that high dose B3 (also known as nicotinic acid or nicotinamide) is safe and can improve retinal function both on visual field testing and electroretinography, an assessment similar to EEG but for the retina. This has led to B3 being recommended for patients struggling with glaucoma, particularly in difficult cases where other treatments have failed. Large-scale clinical trials are currently underway to further evaluate the efficacy of this treatment 1.
