I am new to the forum, and I just had a thought regarding the use of supplements in the presence of high levels of PUFA. If PUFAs have a half-life of around 300 days, and it takes about 4-6 years for the majority of fatty acids to release from your tissues and proceed to the liver for detoxification, does this mean that after this point, supplements that mediate the detoxification process become unnecessary in the context of a low-PUFA diet?
Also, would niacinamide in particular, which slows the release of PUFAs from one's tissues, prolong the PUFA detoxification process? I am only 18 years old, and I tended to eat a lower PUFA diet anyway, so I wonder if I should just undergo the detoxification process normally.
If not, what are the most cost-effective supplements with the highest safety profile for my situation. I also have symptoms of ADD, and I read that niacinamide yields a nootropic effect in this regard, but there are also concerns over prolonged liver exposure to niacin. Aspirin presents a similar degree of controversy.
