1. Gerard Fowke Gerard Fowke United States says:

    I took NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) for a couple of weeks and experienced extreme pain in my neck and lower back. My hurting joints were also very noisy.

    I have taken and was taking MSM, TMG and methylated B12 for years. I can take NADH and Coenzymated B3 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and not experience the same pain.
    -- I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW NAD COULD HAVE CAUSED MY PAIN.-- (As mention by Sara Stein MD)

    I equate my pain to that of getting a bad batch of L-Trytophan and getting EMS (eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome).

    This should be listed as a side effect of NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside).
