and triglycerides.
Dosage and
use
- 1000 mg - 2000 mg daily are needed for a significant cholesterol-lowering
effect.
- This product is
most effectively utilized when taken directly after meals with a buffering
agent.
- For the best cholesterol-lowering effect take niacin in a single dose.
Other ingredients:
gelatin, purified water, MCT.
Caution:
High doses may produce a pronounced niacin flush, characterized by tingling,
reddening, and itching of the skin produced by the release of histamine.
Those with liver disease such as hepaitis C or cirrhosis should avoid
taking high doses of niacin. Niacin may also irritate the stomach. In
order to minimize the flush, take niacin with a meal. In addition, the
body generally gets used to the niacin dosage over time and naturally
reduces histamine release and the flush. Pure niacin is acidic and may
require a buffering agent to be co-ingested if its acidity is unacceptable.
When taking niacin, methylating factors such as folic acid, vitamin
B12, choline and TMG should also be part of one’s supplement program
to protect the liver.
