Supports cardiovascular health*
Extended-release formula decreases chance of “Skin Flushing”*
Sustained-release Niacin with niaXtend provides an 8-hour extended-release tablet that enables more people to access the health-supportive aspects of niacin with less chance of experiencing the uncomfortable skin flushing that commonly accompanies (“the unspecialized niacin in” has been removed) immediate-release (IR) forms of the vitamin. Release of the eicosanoid prostaglandin D2 from skin cells is believed to be behind the skin flushing that may occur with niacin use. This “prickly heat” phenomenon results in a sensation of warmth, reddening, and/or tingling anywhere from 15 to 120 minutes after consumption of a large dose, often felt on the head, neck, and shoulders for up to an hour.
Although flushing is a non-allergic reaction producing no permanent harm to the body, it is the major reason for discontinued use of niacin—thereby preventing many individuals from experiencing the potential benefits of supplementation. When taken as directed, extended-release formulas similar to Sustained-release Niacin with niaXtend have been shown to decrease the potential of flushing.3,4
Supports the maintenance of cognitive function with age*
Supports healthy metabolism & energy production within the body*
Niacin—in both its nicotinic acid and nicotinamide forms—is well absorbed and can act as a biochemical precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and sister coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). The two molecules NAD+ and NADP+ are involved in more than 500 enzymatic reactions and are especially important in metabolism and energy production. All of the human body’s cellular energy is synthesized through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, the citric acid cycle, and cytosolic glycolysis: these pathways all require an adequate supply of NAD+ and NADP+.6
Sustained-Release Niacin with niaXtend supplies nicotinic acid in an extended-release form that supports healthy metabolism and energy production throughout the day by helping to provide the body with an abundant pool of NAD+ and NADP+.
SAFETY
Niacin is a safe and effective supplement if taken as directed by the label or your physician.4 If you are currently taking statins or other medications, have gout or liver dysfunction, or are otherwise under medical supervision, consult your physician before starting niacin supplementation.
