Meridian Naturals True Niacin (Nicotinic Acid)
Meridian Naturals True Niacin can be an important supplement to support

What is Niacin?
Meridian Naturals True Niacin, in nicotinic acid form, is a member of the B
vitamin family. It is found in fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains. It is one
of the best researched of all the vitamins. Without Niacin, your body would not
be able to make fats from carbohydrates. Niacin also assists in the functioning
of the digestive system, skin, and nerves and is important for the conversion of
food to energy.
Why is Meridian Naturals True Niacin Controlled Release?
Our True Niacin formula is controlled release, so that you won't experience
the "niacin flush" which is the burning, tingling sensation in the face and
chest, and red or "flushed" skin that occurs when you take other forms of niacin
supplements. The reason you experience this itch is because the niacin has
allowed more blood to reach your cells to remove toxins from them. Your body
then responds by sending a histamines to the cells. Histamines cause you to
itch, but they also allow your body to send more water, blood, and nutrients to
the area that called them.
Meridian Naturals True Niacin is Controlled Release so you won't experience
this flush.
