Overview
Time Release Niacin (vitamin B3) leverages a 40+ year legacy in lipid management, particularly elevating HDL while balancing LDL, particle size, and triglycerides. Its wax-matrix technology releases niacin gradually over 6-8 hours as nicotinuric acid, minimizing flushing (5-7% incidence in studies) for better tolerance. Essential for digestion, skin, nerves, and energy conversion, niacin is water-soluble and requires ongoing intake from foods like meat and grains. Designated by NCEP as first-line for cholesterol support, it also aids bone, blood sugar, and brain health—linked to improved long-term outcomes with adequate levels.
Benefits
Lipid: Optimizes healthy levels; boosts HDL, balances LDL/size/triglycerides.
Endothelial: Improves function through nitric oxide enhancement.
Cardiovascular: Proven since the 1950s as frontline; fosters enduring health.
Depletion: Mild signs include fatigue/depression; severe impacts brain—supplementation prevents.
