The original protocol is here (which specifies the niacin form, a suggested dose, and some support vitamins), and my analysis of it is here. There’s a comment here on a study that maybe found niacin useful for acute covid, although I haven’t investigated and have low confidence by default.
I think there’s merit to taking nutrition seriously and stocking up on many things, but am in general wary of treating taking vitamins as a free action. Even a daily pill consumes attention, and it can be very hard to notice negative long-term effects or changes in optimal dose unless you’re tracking very closely (which is a bigger attention cost). There’s a very early stage start-up I’m excited about because they might make that tracking and analysis easier, but they’re very far from shipping.
Thanks. I feel like for me the amount of attention for a marginal daily pill is negligibly small (I’m already taking a couple supplements, and I leave the bottles all on the kitchen table, so this would just mean taking one more pill with the others), but I suppose this depends on the person, and also the calculus is a bit different for people who aren’t taking any supplements now.
