Time Release Niacin by Ortho Molecular Products – Cardiovascular Support with Vitamin B3
Time Release Niacin by Ortho Molecular Products is a sustained-release niacin supplement designed to support cardiovascular health, healthy blood lipid levels, and balanced cholesterol metabolism. This practitioner-formulated vitamin B3 product uses a natural wax-matrix coating technology to release niacin gradually over six to eight hours, helping promote HDL support, lipid balance, and better tolerance with minimal flushing.
Key Time Release Niacin Benefits
- Supports healthy blood lipid levels already within the normal range
- Promotes healthy high-density lipoprotein levels
- Helps maintain healthy low-density lipoprotein levels and lipid particle size
- Supports healthy triglyceride levels
- Promotes endothelial function by increasing nitric oxide synthase activity
How Time Release Niacin Works
This sustained-release niacin formula delivers niacin slowly over a six- to eight-hour period to help reduce flushing while supporting healthy cholesterol balance. Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, helps promote healthy lipoprotein metabolism, supports nitric oxide synthase activity, and assists the body in maintaining healthy circulation and cardiovascular function.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Niacin (as Nicotinic Acid): Supports healthy HDL levels, healthy triglyceride balance, and normal lipid metabolism
Time Release Niacin is formulated with a proprietary natural wax-matrix coating technology to help deliver niacin gradually for improved tolerance. In a placebo-controlled study cited by the manufacturer, this specific form was associated with a low flushing rate.
Time Release Niacin Is Formulated For
- Individuals seeking practitioner-guided cholesterol support
- Those looking for targeted heart health supplement support
- Adults who want a well-tolerated time release niacin formula
- People seeking nutritional support for healthy triglycerides and HDL levels already within the normal range
