Niacin

Niacin
High dose niacin is proven to be effective at lowering serum lipids

Background
Niacin (vitamin B3) in larger doses is now proven as a very effective and safe antihyperlipidemic agent. It decreases serum triglyceride levels by lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) while raising levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Niacin treatment, alone or in combination with bile acid sequesters, has been shown to cause regression of atherosclerotic plaques and reduce overall patient mortality (Brown et al., 1990). Niacin in large doses has also been shown to delay or prevent onset of NIDDM (Eliot et al., 1993).

Types of Niacin
We offer three types of Niacin

1. Niacin - regular niacin, works well but causes flushing.
2. Inositol Hexaniacinate - also shown to work but without flushing.
3. Niacin Controlled Release - Newest form. Shown to be effective by only having to take once per day. Non-flushing.
