How Does Niaspan® (extended-release niacin) Work To Lower Cholesterol & Triglycerides?

0

Niaspan® (extended-release niacin) and cholesterol are closely linked, and Vitamin B3 is recommended by some experts to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels within your body. Because of its ability to break down fats it is essential for heart attack prevention, as well as treating diabetes and cataracts. Some cardiologists prescribe Niaspan® at 1000 mgs per day or even higher amounts for people with very high cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, at this effective level, Niaspan® has many negative side-effects (see next question below). In fact, the time-released aspect of Niaspan creates higher side-effects, especially for the liver (see below). NOTE: Many studies show that for 67% of people, even 3,000 mgs (or more) of daily Niaspan® still doesn’t help lower cholesterol.
