Drug Function and Efficacy

After being converted into NAD in the body, niacin exerts a lipid-lowering effect, which can reduce the levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TC), and increase the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C). It can also reduce the serum levels of apolipoprotein B-100 (ApoB), most very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), some LDL and lipoprotein a [Lp(a)].

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
