Lower Cholesterol with Niacin
When it comes to lowering cholesterol, the pharmaceutical companies have attempted to duplicate nature and created a drug that is a is a prescription time-released form of niacin. For many people, using niacin may be a lifesaver when it comes to lowering cholesterol.
For over half a century niacin or vitamin B3 has been found to be good for lowering cholesterol and increasing the good cholesterol, HDL.
In fact, all depending on the deficiencies a person may have, niacin has been studied to work for other health conditions like depression, leg pain, angina, memory loss, schizophrenia, energy, peripheral vascular disease, and much more.
One of the issues related to the use of Niacin is facial and skin flushing. A non-prescription drug of Niacin called “Niacin-Time” seems to have done away with this problem.
However, the product Niacin-Time has a special natural wax-matrix that makes the tablet sustained-release, so you get a continuous benefit from it for over 5-7 hours with very little to no flushing. Studies have shown that the dropout rate from flushing in the prescribed form, Niaspan®, was 25% while Niacin-Time was 3%.
By far, Niacin-Time (Carlson’s) is superior to other time-release Niacin and it’s much cheaper and does not require a prescription.
Niacin-Time has the following stats that show its effectiveness in the battle against heart disease:
• lowers cholesterol 16%
• lowers LDL-C 21%
• lowers Lp (a),
• raises HDL 29%
• lower triglyceridess 26%
Even better news is the fact that Niacin-Time has been shown to even reverse coronary vascular lesions.
Although niacin has been clinically tested to help in lowering cholesterol, it is important to remember that the cause of high cholesterol is usually multifactorial and you should not depend on only one nutrient. Most people have other deficiencies and may also have increase levels of toxins which play a role in elevating one’s cholesterol.
While using Niacin-Time is a good beginning, I recommend having your physician or health care provider order the comprehensive Cardio/ION test to help in identifying and correcting any underlying deficiencies.
In conclusion, the nonprescription Niacin-Time is without a doubt the best clinically proven form of B3, and far better compared to the commonly prescribed forms of Niacin
The dose to start with is one Niacin-Time 500 mg two or three times a day and move it to four times a day if needed.
