Even if these studies, barely making statistical relevance, were accurate, they still fail to highlight the fact that vitamin B3 cures schizophrenia

I am not aware of any testing that has approved vitamin B3 (niacin) as a treatment for schizophrenia. Perhaps you are thinking of vitamin B13.

At one time orotic acid was known as vitamin B13. It is no longer considered a vitamin. It is interesting that orotic acid can combine with lithium to form lithium orotate and some people believe it could be used as a treatment.

Lithium (carbonate) is sometimes used for the treatment of schizophrenia and although lithium orotate can also provide lithium, it has not passed testing for approval in any medical treatment that I have encountered.
