Niacin (vitamin B-3 or nicotinic acid or vitamin PP) is one of the B vitamins, essential for the body's good health. The Flush-Free Niacin by NOW is designed in such a way that it is gradually released into the blood, releasing histamine. The histamine
is a nitrogenous organic compound, which dilates blood vessels and breaks down the protein required for blood clotting.
According to research by Harvard Health Publication, niacin when taken alone, can reduce levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol by 15%, and increase levels of “good” HDL cholesterol by 20%. Additionally, niacin when taken alone, can reduce triglyceride levels. When taken in combination with a statin, it can reduce LDL cholesterol levels by 10%.
Adequate niacin intake contributes to the smooth functioning of the nervous system, and helps reduce the frequency of headaches and migraines that occur before menstruation. Conversely, a lack of niacin can cause pellagra, the clinical consequences of which are characterized by skin, gastrointestinal, mucosal and neurological symptoms.
