Niacin helps raise HDL cholesterol while lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. It may also reduce small, dense LDL particles, which are considered more harmful for heart health. Additionally, niacin improves blood vessel function and reduces inflammation. Some people may experience temporary flushing (redness, warmth, and itching) when taking niacin. To minimize this effect, you can either choose a sustained-release form or lower the dosage. This product is a sustained-release niacin (500 mg), which should not be confused with flush-free niacin, as the flush-free form has very poor absorption.
