● Major B vitamin that supports cardiovascular health by inhibiting hepatic(liver) triglyceride synthesis, reducing very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion, and increasing HDL plasma concentrations (9).
● Reduces conversion of VLDL into LDL proteins and serum lipoprotein concentrations in plasma (blood) (9).
● Vital for regulation of gene expression, cell cycle progression, and DNA repair, and cell death (9).
● Supports healthy inflammatory response via antioxidant and anti-apoptotic (prevention of cell death) properties (9).
● Prevents pathologies(diseases) such as Pellagra and reduces prevalence of nervous anorexia, cancer, and crohn's disease (10, 11).
● Supports sensitization of tumors to radiation via apoptosis (cell death) cascade of tumor mass and improves oxygen delivery to malignant tissues (cancer cells) (12).
● Supports cognitive health by reducing age-related decline of NAD+, increasing quinolinic acid and reducing neuroinflammation (9).
● Increased niacin associated NAD+ levels have been shown to increase neurotransmission, learning and memory (9).
● Niacin reduces the prevalence of neurodegenerative pathologies by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction (9).
