Niacin Tablets

Nicotinic acid is converted into nicotinamide in the body, and then combined with riboadenin to form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (coenzyme I) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (coenzyme II), which are necessary for lipid amino acid, protein, purine metabolism, tissue respiration oxidation and glycogenolysis. Nicotinic acid can reduce the utilization of coenzyme A; by inhibiting the synthesis of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), it affects the transport of cholesterol in the blood. Large doses can reduce serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. Nicotinic acid has a peripheral vasodilation effect.

The main ingredient of this product is: niacin.
