Niacin SR (Sustained-Release Niacin) by NuMedica supports blood lipid levels related to healthy cardiovascular function by reducing the production of LDL and VLDL in the liver and increasing the production of beneficial HDL which draws cholesterol away from the lining of the arteries.
Sustained-Release Niacin
Niacin SR⢠is NuMedica’s sustained release
niacin which features an advanced carnauba wax coating designed to
release part of the niacin quickly with the remainder being released
over a period of several hours with little or no flushing.
Niacin removes triglycerides from the blood through a process called
“lipoprotein lipase activity” and appears to have a strong effect on the
production of prostaglandins. Additionally, niacin dilates the blood
vessels, improving circulation and may aid in flushing out existing
plaque.
Caution: Temporary flushing, itching or warming of the
skin may occur. Do not use if you have gout, diabetes, liver dysfunction
or are pregnant.
