Niacin 250mg 90vcap - Now Foods

Niacin 250mg Now helps balance HDL and LDL cholesterol levels.

Niacin or Niacin (vitamin B3) is an essential B-complex vitamin that is part of more than 200 enzyme complexes.

Niacin plays a role in releasing energy contained in foods. Niacin derivatives include several important coenzymes present in every cell in the body. One of these coenzymes is involved in carbohydrate metabolism, and another is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol, controlling their levels in the body.

Niacin's effect on controlling cholesterol levels is well documented. A study published in 2000 compared the therapeutic effects of niacin with the medication Lopid. In this study, doses of 375mg/day of niacin increased HDL cholesterol levels by 25%, compared to 13.3% in the group taking Lopid. But not only that: individuals taking the vitamin also saw reductions in other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as apolipoprotein and fibrinogen levels.

New research, published in 2004, confirmed what these results already suggested: nutritional therapy based on niacin can help balance cholesterol levels: it increases good cholesterol (HDL) and decreases bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides. Among nutrients and medications, it is one of the most effective for increasing good cholesterol levels.

A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association, carried out with 125 diabetics, guarantees the safety of the nutrient in controlling cholesterol levels in patients with diabetes, and can even be used as an alternative to Statins (a group of medications used to lower cholesterol).

Niacin is an excellent adjunct in raising good cholesterol (HDL) levels. It is also essential for the synthesis of Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF), facilitating the entry of glucose into cells and thus preventing blood sugar spikes.

Many niacin supplements cause temporary flushing. NOW® Niacin is formulated to minimize flushing.
