TwinLab Niacin (B-3) Caps are easier to swallow and assimilate. Free of the most common allergens such as corn, soy, yeast, rice, barley, wheat, lactose (milk sugar) and all milk, citrus, fish and other. Brand: Twinlab ,Number of items: 4. Features: Case of four bottles, each containing 100 capsules of 500 mg Vitamin B-3 (total of 400 capsules) - Contains 500 mg of crystalline pure niacin per capsule; yeast free. Easy to swallow and assimilate - Free of the most common allergens; no added flavorings, sugars, salt, artificial sweeteners, colorings, preservatives or salicylates. Manufactured at Twinlab's own state-of-the-art facility Niacin is often prescribed by doctors because it is one of the best ways to improve a patient's cholesterol ratio, i.e decrease LDL (bad) and increase HDL (good cholesterol.) Also read patients' or consumers' reviews. In "The Harvard Medical School Guide to Lowering Cholesterol", Dr Mason Freeman MD recommends using the original immediate release niacin (pure nicotinic acid) over the extended release version, even if you have to put up with the very minor inconvenience of flushing, for just a few minutes. That would really be liver-friendly and best for you. We happen to completely share Doctor Freeman's opinion that immediate release Niacin is best, especially if you take cholesterol reducing medication, such as statin drugs like Lipitor, Crestor and Zocor (hM Editorial Opinion). http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_052.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:06:04 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_052.htm#2 TwinLab Niacin (B-3) Capsules, 500 mg, 100-Count Bottles (Pack of 4) Dietary supplement From Twinlab . http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_052.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:06:04 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_052.htm#3 Pain Reliever.
