Main Uses:

 

  • Nicotinic acid, or niacin aids in the release of energy from foods, synthesises DNA, and the two coenzymes; NAD and NAPD which are necessary for healthy skin, nerves, digestive system, blood vessels and cholesterol control.
  • Essential for the synthesis of sex hormones; oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
  • Niacin is a well-accepted treatment for high cholesterol. Multiple studies show that niacin (not niacinamide) has significant benefits on levels of high-density cholesterol (HDL or “good cholesterol”), with better results than prescription drugs such as “statins” like atorvastatin (Lipitor®).
  • There are also benefits on levels of low-density cholesterol (LDL or “bad cholesterol”), although these effects are less dramatic. Adding niacin to a second drug such as a statin may increase the effects on low-density lipoproteins.
