Time Release Niacin - 90 CT by Ortho Molecular Products
Time Release Niacin by Ortho Molecular includes powerful support for cardiovascular health. This formula is a unique sustained-release tablet which allows for maximal benefit with minimal side-effects. Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is a micronutrient with a 40-year history of efficacy in supporting healthy lipid levels, especially high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, one side effect often makes supplementing niacin a less than pleasurable experience: limited adherence. Some patients experience flushing when supplementing niacin. However, a properly manufactured, sustained-release niacin, like the one found in this formula, circumvents this side effect. By using a proprietary, natural wax-matrix coating technology, the Time Release Niacin formula is released slowly over a seven to eight-hour period to reduce flushing. This time period is considered the ideal window for releasing equal amounts of niacin into circulation as nicotinuric acid, the beneficial metabolite responsible for niacin s lipid balancing benefits. *

I tried 3 other pure niacin preparations including a "slow release" type, but this is the only one that produces practically no "flush" and after a couple of weeks, literally no "flush"

Excellent product recommended by my cardiologist. Tried a similar product with negative results. Claimed to be slow release, but caused extremely uncomfortable flushing.
