Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid or vitamin B3, has long been regarded as one of the most effective weapons in managing cholesterol. It can lower levels of triglycerides, fatty acids and to a lesser extent, the "bad" kind of cholesterol (LDL) while at the same time powerfully increasing the "good" kind (HDL). But there's a catch – a big one. Patients don't like to take niacin because in most of them, it causes embarrassing, uncontrollable intense flushing, a rush of blood to the face and other skin surfaces accompanied by a prickling sensation.
Our “sustained” release formula has reduced the discomfort of the “flushing” to almost zero when taken as prescribed. The same goes for the itching which lasts for only about an hour. And because it is the “sustained released” formula you need take it only once a day. Also, because it is in the body for only about two hours there is virtually no danger of toxicity. Now to be clear, there is some discomfort, but it is very minimal, especially when you’re looking at the results you will gain on your lipid numbers.
Suggested use: Take 1 capsule a day with water (preferably on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before a meal). Do not take more than 2 capsules a day unless instructed by a health care professional.
