Is niacinamide(vitamin b3) good for treating yeast infections?

Question

i have a yeast inection and i was wondering if niacinamide would help treat it.i know it comes from yeast

Answer 1

Tea tree oil (Melaleucca) inserted vaginally on a tampon and drunk in water 3-4 drops per 8oz, grapefruit seed extract, nystatin are going to be a heck of a lot more effective than either niacin or niacinamide.  In fact, I am unclear that a B Vitamin is going to have much of an effect at all, especially since most B Vitamins are yeast grown.  Changing your diet to eliminate what the yeast grows on, namely sugars, may not even be completely effective, altho' it IS essential.  Do some more research on how to kill Candida yeasts and how to rebalance your body.  Understand also that it is not unusual to get extreme cravings and extreme side effects when there is massive yeast die off in your body.  The Atkins diet can be extremely helpful w/ cases of candida overgrowth, however, many women experience hot flashes and constipation amongst other untoward side-effects with long term use of Atkins.  It is more a place to visit for awhile, but not to stay.  Candida overgrowth really does require some massive lifestyle changes to treat it successfully.
