Description

Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid or vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for the proper metabolism of fat and carbohydrates. Niacin lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels by reducing the production of apolipoprotein B by the liver. This effect has been shown in both human and animal models. It is also important for maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and nerves. Niacin has been shown to be effective in treating bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In addition to its lipid-lowering effects, it can also improve the function of mitochondria in cells.
