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.
