Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

This is essentially a placeholder. Will write more on B3 later…

Role in reducing CVD According to Dr Brewer:

• One study said it didn’t help: Relationship of lipoproteins to cardiovascular events: the AIM-HIGH Trial (Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome With Low HDL/High Triglycerides and Impact on Global Health Outcomes)
• Nethertheless, it is believed that Niacin:
  • Improves Lp(a)
  • Improves HDL
  • Improves Triglycerides
  • Improves LDL
• DrFB Recommends starting at 250 mg/day and up to 2 g/day
  • 250 mg has reduced Lp(a) from 150 to 25 in some patients
