Description
Niacin CRT Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic Acid) 500mg
Controlled Slow Release Tablet
Help Minimize Flush
It helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Niacin CRT™ is a unique wax-matrix tablet that utilizes the latest Controlled Release Technology (CRT). This technology delivers niacin in a continuous, controlled rate over a 6-hour period, throughout the tablet’s transit time in the bowel. Flushing sometimes happens with time-release niacin, as there can be fairly large surges of niacin released intermittently. However, flushing is less likely with controlled release niacin.
Features
- Taking Niacin CRT™ at dinner time may help reduce the incidence and severity of flushing which may occur with high-dose niacin supplementation earlier in the day.
- Avoid taking with alcohol, hot beverages, or juice as this may accelerate the dissolution of the tablet, leading to higher initial levels of niacin into the bloodstream.
- Patients with a history of coronary insuciency and those on vasodilating drugs should only use niacin under the guidance of a qualified health care provider given the potential for a hypotensive event.
- There are no known toxic metabolites of niacin, however, continued “amidation” associated with metabolizing nicotinates may result in liver stress. Therefore, less frequent dosing (and allowing 2-3 hours before dosing) may be recommended in order to clear the system (and therefore the liver) of the metabolizing nicotinates after seven to eight hours in order to reduce any potential increase in liver enzyme production.
- In addition, due to its fibrinolytic effect, niacin should be used with caution in conjunction with fibrinolytic
- and blood-thinning drugs.
- Taking niacin alone may raise homocysteine levels in some individuals.
- It is recommended that any niacin formula be given with adequate amounts of B6, B12, and natural folates.and methionine, accomplished with the co-use of formulas such as B-Supreme, Twice Daily Multi™, Homo-cysteine Supreme™, or SAMe, to increase the efficiency of the liver during amidation.
- Others requiring increased caution include pregnant or nursing women, as well as patients with a known history of gallbladder disease, gout or acid-peptic disease
