SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.—Doctor’s Best introduced Real Niacin, a supplement providing 500 mg of niacin as nicotinic acid in an eight-hour extended form. The product is available in 120-tablet bottles.
Niacin, also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid supports more than 500 enzymatic reactions that play pivotal roles in metabolism, energy production and healthy aging. Real Niacin provides a considerable amount of nicotinic acid combined with a proprietary wax-coated technology to yield an eight-hour extended-release tablet that reduces the chance of experiencing skin flushing that commonly accompanies this supplement.
Clinical research has demonstrated niacin as nicotinic acid may promote a favorable balance of blood lipids. Further, diets high in niacin have been associated with healthy cognitive function in the aging mind. Niacin also offers antioxidant activity to address the accumulation of free radicals in brain mitochondria. Niacin also promotes energy metabolism because it is directly involved in electron transfer reactions within cells.
“Real Niacin promotes multiple beneficial effects on cardiovascular and brain health, while supporting the body’s ability to produce cellular energy," said Ken Halvorsrude, president of Doctor’s Best.
Founded in 1990 by Halvorsrude and a holistic physician, Doctor’s Best Inc. manufactures and distributes dietary supplements throughout the United States and overseas.
