Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient for good health. It also has long been utilized as a treatment to manage high cholesterol levels, when taken in high dosages. It is no longer the most popular cholesterol lowering option because of its side effects like skin flushing, upset stomach, liver toxicity, and increased blood sugar levels. Now scientists have discovered another problem from taking megadoses of Niacin…
A groundbreaking study led by Dr. Stanley Hazen, Chair of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Sciences at Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute, has revealed a link between excess niacin consumption and an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Excess niacin creates a byproduct called 4PY, which is strongly associated with vascular inflammation and the development of conditions like atherosclerosis, which can ultimately contribute
to heart disease. (1)
With normal dietary intake, or reasonable supplementation, Niacin does have great health value! Known as Vitamin B3, it is essential for more than 400 crucial enzymes, when converted in the body to its metabolically active form —nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Anti-aging research scientists are even recommending infusions of NAD to help stall some of the effects of aging.
