Taking galactose and vitamin B3 together may affect NAD levels in the body. Galactosamine, a derivative of galactose, can inhibit NAD synthesis. This might impact energy metabolism and other bodily functions. D-galactosamine, a derivative of galactose, inhibits NAD synthesis initiated by nicotinamide, which is converted to niacin in the body. NAD is an essential cofactor for energy metabolism. This inhibition may lead to decreased NAD levels.
