To raise cholesterol yes you heard me right raise cholesterol nice and raises hdl the good cholesterol in the body and in fact nice and will improve triglyceride levels to not only this niacin correct cholesterol levels it also prevents narrowing of the arteries and is a proven treatment for depression and schizophrenia you should consider using niacin if you have
High cholesterol or if you suspect you are deficient signs of niacin deficiency include fatigue in digestion canker sores and depression the most common cause of niacin deficiency is alcoholism nice and works to optimize cholesterol levels this means that nice and lowers ldl which is the bad cholesterol while increasing hdl which is the good cholesterol the bad
Cholesterol sticks to artery walls and clogs them while the good cholesterol protects the arteries we are learning more and more about the importance of having high levels of hdl cholesterol which may even be more important than having low ldl cholesterol the research supporting the use of niacin for optimizing cholesterol recommends high doses anywhere between
2,000 to 4,000 milligrams daily this varies greatly from the rda which is usually about 18 milligrams per day for adults however the rda is only the amount needed to prevent deficiency niacin is generally available in capsule or tablets food sources of niacin are meat peanuts green peas sunflower seeds and avocado it is quite easy for the average individual
To an adequate amount of nice and through diet for those looking to supplement with higher doses particularly for optimizing cholesterol supplementation is required niacin works best in combination with other b vitamins so be sure to use it with a b-complex fish oil and fiber work well with nice and to reduce cholesterol it should be noted that there are three
Different types of nice and which do not all work the same these forms include niacin niacin amide and inositol hexan eosin 8 the niacin form lowers cholesterol the best but will cause a flushing effect which is a temporary itching or mild burning of the skin which does go away with continued use starting with small doses of niacin and then tapering up will reduce
The side effect while the other two forms do not cause a flushing reaction they also do not optimize cholesterol levels as effectively as nice and does so remember niacin is a very effective option for optimizing cholesterol levels you need high doses between 2000 and 4000 milligrams daily for it to work and the best form to use is niacin when you first start
Using it you will notice a flushing sensation that will pass and eventually will not happen anymore with regular use start with lower doses and work up to a higher dose and don’t forget to take it with a b-complex fiber and fish oil for the best results that’s our professional supplement review of niacin check out more of our natural health videos subscribe or
