Involvement of Niacin, an essential B vitamin, in cellular
energy production means that it is essential for healthy
cardiovascular function, nervous system function, and immune
function.** Niacin helps maintain already normal cholesterol
levels.** Schiff uses Inositol Hexanicotinate for a niacin
source (nicotinate is a synonym for niacin), which lets enzymes
in your body slowly release niacin to avoid the flushing
response. Niacin in doses over 50 mg can cause flushing - red
and itchy face and neck - when ingested in a non-time release
form. Niacin is available in time-release tablets, and these
products have less flushing reaction. These products release
niacin slowly throughout the intestinal tract, which still
presents the liver with a large niacin load. Simple,
time-released niacin products have been associated with elevated
liver enzymes in some users. The niacin used in Schiff Flush
Free Niacin is Inositol Hexanicotinate, a different kind of
time-release niacin. Inositol hexanicotinate is absorbed by the
body, and inside of tissues, enzymes normally present in all
cells slowly release niacin from the inositol. This allows
niacin from inositol hexanicotinate to avoid flushing and
provide what the cells really want - niacin in the right place
at the right time in the right amounts. Niacinamide, another
form of Vitamin B3 commonly used in dietary supplements and
found in foods, does not cause flushing at any dose, but also
does not have the cardiovascular health effects that niacin has.
Niacin is involved in numerous reactions inside of cells that
convert food into cellular energy.** Niacin helps operate
enzymes that transport and break down fats, carbohydrates,
proteins and other molecules formed from food.** A normal
function of niacin is to help remove fats (triglycerides) from
tissues and the bloodstream.** Primary Use: Cardiovascular
health, Brain function, Skin health.**
