NIACIN (no flush), 120 vcaps, 300 mg
Flush Free Niacin (also known as Vitamin B3 or
Niacinamide): supports healthy cholesterol balance and
circulatory function, blood sugar balance, skin health,
healthy heart and joint function.
Free of most common allergens | Vegetarian | For
cholesterol health
Overview
Niacin is also known as Vitamin B3 or Niacinamide, it is
heat stable and water soluble. It was first discovered when
scientists were looking for the cause of pellagra. It is
absorbed in the small intestine and excreted in the urine.
The human body uses niacin in more than 50 chemical
reactions. It is needed by the body to extract energy from
fat, carbohydrate and protein. It is a natural cholesterol
regulator, and often works as well as prescription
medications for persons with mild cholesterol problems. This
formula uses nicotinic acid, the form of niacin that has
shown promise in lowering LDL levels of cholesterol. Like
all members of the B family, niacin plays a role in energy
metabolism. Our Flush Free Niacin uses niacin from inositol
hexanicotinate. Inositol hexanicotinate functions as niacin,
but does not cause the flushing, tingling and itching
effects common with use of standard niacin, many people find
these side effects to be uncomfortable. Inositol
hexanicotinate consists of niacin molecules surrounded that
is bound to inositol, it is slowly meta-bolized by the body,
releasing niacin over a period of time. In clinical tests,
it has been found to be more effective than niacin to lower
blood cholesterol levels.
Our Flush Free Niacin is available in 60 and 120 count
vegetarian capsules.
Research Indicates
- May support healthy cholesterol balance and
circulatory function
- May support healthy blood sugar blance
- May support a healthy mood
- Needed for healthy production of hydrochloric acid and
secretion of bile and stomach fluid
- May support skin health
- Important to the health of all tissue
- Important nutrient for healthy heart function
- Involved with other B vitamins in the production of
cellular energy
- Necessary for the healthy manufacture of sex and
adrenal hormones
- May support healthy joint function
Dosage
The RDA for Niacin is 13-18 mg per day.
Cautions
- Do not exceed recommended dosages, excessive amounts
of B3 can cause serious health problems, including liver
toxicity
- Check with your health care practitioner if you have
any of the following: diabetes, low blood pressure,
glaucoma, gout, liver disease, ulcers or a bleeding
disorder prior to using Niacin.
- If you are pregnant or lactating consult a health care
practitioner before taking Niacin

of Accelerated Aging and Cancers.
NIACIN Deficiencies May Contribute to Rapid Aging and
Cancers
A breakthrough in gene technology holds out the prospect
of a more effective anti-ageing treatment. It may also lead
to new treatments to fight cancer.
Scientists from Newcastle University have found a way to
enhance the body's natural repair mechanism.
Research like this that provides a first step towards
scientists being able to design drugs that prevent
age-related diseases
Research into Ageing group
They have discovered that raising levels of a specialised
protein called PARP-1 can help cells to carry out repairs
more effectively. PARP-1 works by mending damaged strands of
the genetic material DNA. It is thought that damage to DNA
is the driving force behind the ageing process. It is also
known to be a major factor in the development of cancers.
Animal lifespans
The Newcastle team has previously shown that animals with
different lifespans have different types of PARP-1. For
instance, mice, which have a short lifespan, have a less
effective form of the protein. The researchers believe this
is because mice have lots of predators, and are therefore
unlikely to live very long. Therefore instead of trying to
maximise their lifespan, they have evolved to concentrate
their energies into reproducing themselves.
On the other hand, species such as humans with few
predators have may have evolved more efficient PARP-1
because it makes sense in evolutionary terms to try to
maximise lifespan.
This opens up exciting possibilities for future research
Dr Alexander Burkle lead researcher
Lead researcher Dr Alexander Burkle, of the Department of
Gerontology at Newcastle University, said: "We have
produced cells which, under stress conditions keep their
genetic substance, the DNA, in better shape, in a way which
for some reason was not the path chosen by nature during
evolution.
"This opens up exciting possibilities for future
research."
Dr Burkle said it could be that people who age rapidly
have a deficiency of PARP-1 in certain types of tissue.
Role of vitamin
Dr Burkle is also interested in the role of the vitamin,
niacin, which also plays a role in DNA repair. He believes
that it is possible that the ageing process may be
accelerated by a lack of niacin in the poor Western diet.
A spokeswoman for the medical research charity Research
into Ageing told BBC News Online that the research was
"exciting".
"Dr Burkle's discovery is a good example of the high
quality research that is needed to improve our defences
against the conditions that can make later life miserable.
"Research like this that identifies specific
mechanisms provides a first step towards scientists being
able to design drugs that prevent age-related diseases.
"We need this kind of understanding to make our
longer lives as healthy, active and independent as
possible"
