Using Niacin To Reduce Cholesterol Levels

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: James Tien

Niacin, or Vitamin B3, usually prescribed in the form of nicotinic acid, can be used to lower high cholesterol levels in the bloodstream which have been associated with the risk of stroke or heart disease. High doses have been successfully employed in this way since the 1950s.

Every cell in the human body needs the cholesterol in its surrounding membrane to protect it and make sure the nervous system and endocrine systems work properly. Nerves can travel without impediment around the body due to the insulation provided by this waxy substance which also assists in the production of those mysterious chemical messengers - hormones. So cholesterol is absolutely essential to maintaining physical health.

On the other hand, excessive cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which in turn increases your risk of having a stroke or suffering from coronary heart disease. Too much cholesterol can also lead to loss of mental clarity, high blood pressure, gallstones and impotence.

Diet, of course, is important in maintaining health, and soya foods and garlic have been named as two which can help to keep cholesterol levels under control. Niacin has been shown to be the most effective medication in lowering cholesterol.

LDL, or 'low density lipoprotein' is the type of cholesterol which causes the problems with the body's circulatory system, earning it the name of 'bad.' High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is another form of cholesterol and this actually helps us by making sure that the 'bad' molecules are swept back to the liver for purification.

Niacin not only assists the nervous and digestive systems, it supports the health of skin, eyes and hair, and plays a vital role in digestion. By breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and fats in our diet, it releases energy from them for the body's use. If you take the substance in high doses, it raises the level of 'good' cholesterol, thus counteracting the dangers inherent in having too much of the 'bad' kind. It is suggested that you need high prescription doses, rather than those available over the counter to ensure success with this treatment.

If you are diabetic, be careful if considering such treatment, as it can affect blood sugar levels. Niacin has also been linked to gout, raised blood pressure and liver disturbances. Others have reported headaches, dizziness and stomach and vision problems. The flushing observable when you take high doses of this substance results from expanding blood vessels.
