| Product Description: |
The niacin containing co-enzymes, NAD & NADP, are part of more than 200 individual chemical reactions that occur during the metabolism of the macronutrients which are carbohydrates, fats and protein. Niacin is particularly important in the oxidation reduction reactions during the production of energy from carbohydrates. NAD & NADP are vital in cell metabolism. They are critical to maintaining the function of every cell in the body.
Niacin reduces LDL cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol that makes up most of the plaque buildup in the blood vessel walls in occlusive cardiovascular disease. It also reduces triglycerides, another blood fat that if elevated is associated with an increased incidence of heart disease. This vitamin increases HDL cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol that keeps the LDL cholesterol from entering the blood vessel walls.
Niacin has been shown to have an anti-anxiety activity similar to anxiolytic medications such as the benzodiazepines. Italian physicians report using niacin to help addicted people withdraw from benzodiazepines.
Niacin has been identified as a factor in glucose tolerance enhancing an appropriate response to insulin.
Niacin at the 75mg/day range in supplement dosing causes vasodilatation which brings about the red flush with and without the subsequent prickling sensation.
