It seems NAD+, niacinamide, magnesium, calcium, vitamin D, and the rest of the B vitamins are all crucial for regulating immune function—not just in “boosting” it, but in modulating it appropriately. These nutrients help the immune system respond effectively without tipping into chronic inflammation or autoimmunity. They support mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, and the body's ability to repair tissue and neutralize oxidative stress—key factors in managing microbial overgrowth and damage.
Choline, in particular, plays a long-term role in neurological health. Sustained choline supplementation—over a year or more—can significantly improve sensory processing issues. This makes sense given that choline is essential for synthesizing acetylcholine (a key neurotransmitter) and for metabolizing cholesterol, which is vital since the brain is composed primarily of cholesterol-based structures like myelin and cell membranes.
However, while nutritional sufficiency sets the stage for recovery, the body often can't heal fully until the root microbial imbalance is addressed. Pathogenic bacteria and fungi must be reduced or eliminated—otherwise, they continue generating bioactive toxins, disrupting barrier integrity (gut, brain, skin), and hijacking host resources. In other words, the body doesn’t enter this dysregulated state spontaneously; it’s reacting to persistent biological stressors that must be resolved
