Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin (Nicotinic Acid, Vitamin B3) is a water-soluble B-vitamin that serves as a precursor to the coenzymes NAD⁺ and NADP⁺ — the universal electron carriers in virtually all cellular oxidative and reductive metabolic reactions. At physiological doses it is an essential nutrient; at pharmacological doses (1,000–3,000mg/day) it demonstrates clinically significant effects on blood lipids — raising HDL cholesterol and lowering triglycerides and LDL. The characteristic flushing response (prostaglandin-mediated cutaneous vasodilation) is a dose-dependent effect that can be moderated with slow-release formulations or aspirin pre-dosing.
