Vitamin B3 and Kidney Response to Exercise in Heat
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests how your kidneys respond to exercise in the heat, and whether taking vitamin B3 (niacin) changes that response. It might help protect the kidneys of people who work or exercise in hot conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy, nonsmoking adult between 21 and 45.
- Your kidneys are working well (eGFR over 90) with no excess protein in urine.
- You are physically fit, with a specific fitness test score between 35 and 60 (VO2 max).
- You do not take any regular supplements, especially vitamin B3.
- You do not have any medical conditions or allergies that would make exercise in the heat unsafe.

This study tests how exercise in a hot environment affects your heart and metabolism. It may help researchers understand how heat and exercise work together in healthy, active young adults.
This study tests whether giving a vitamin B3 supplement (nicotinamide) before, during, and after heart surgery can help protect the kidneys from injury. If you are having heart surgery and have a higher risk of kidney damage, this treatment might reduce that risk.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) can help people with moderate chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if the supplement improves kidney function or slows down the disease.
This study tests if taking creatine supplements can protect your brain and kidneys during intense exercise in hot conditions. You'll exercise and have your thinking and kidney function checked afterward.
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
This study tests whether taking vitamin B6 changes how your body responds to exercise when blood flow to the leg is temporarily reduced. It may help researchers understand how to improve blood flow and exercise responses in people with circulation problems.
