Vitacel GH7-8-9 Niacin Flush- Not Side Effect Raises Good Cholesterol Levels
The Niacin Flush
The Niacin fkush can sometimes be mistaken for a side effect when in fact it increases blood flow and raises good Cholesterol levels.
When you get that "flush" that means that the small blood vessels in your body are being expanded in size because of the niacin. Many of your small blood vessels, called "capillaries" are so small that blood cells can go through them only in single file.
Sometimes, in fact, that small passageway is clogged and blood doesn't get through at all.
While the large organs of the body all have blood supplied from large arteries, a great deal of your body, particularly the parts near the surface (skin and surface areas) get their ONLY supply of blood (therefore also of oxygen and food!) from these small capillaries. So, if those capillaries are not carrying the blood, then those parts of the body are not getting nourishment and oxygen.
The niacin causes these small capillaries to get larger -- so they might be able to carry two or three blood cells at the same time. This is a tremendous increase in blood flow.
Adding relatively small amounts of niacin (a form of vitamin B3) to a standard cholesterol-lowering drug regimen led to a significant improvement in HDL (good) cholesterol levels, an important predictor of heart disease risk, according to a study in the American Heart Journal.
In the new study, people taking one of a class of cholesterol-lowering medications known as statin drugs were randomly chosen to receive either 100 mg of niacin per day or placebo. In the people receiving niacin, HDL cholesterol levels increased by an average of 5%, compared with a slight decrease in the placebo group; the difference between groups was statistically significant. This increase in HDL levels is considered a beneficial change, since high levels of HDL are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Niacin did not cause any major side effects, and only 20% of the patients experienced the typical niacin flush, a sensation of itching and burning of the skin that often accompanies high-dose niacin therapy.
You experience this as a reddening of the skin -- simply because there is more blood close to the surface of the body. As this blood flows in these areas the cells of the small capillaries will also be getting rid of their waste products, and often they produce "histamine" as part of that process. That histamine is another natural substance produced by every cell in the body -- when the cell is under attack, or is getting rid of toxins.
Histamine causes an "itchy" feeling.
"Niacin can be very effective and safe in lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels and also in increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. In combination with other lipid-lowering drugs (eg, bile acid sequestrants), it has reduced the incidence of cardiovascular events and stopped the progression of coronary artery lesions. It may be the most cost-effective lipid-lowering agent currently available.
Niacin is vitamin B-3, one of the water soluble B-complex vitamins. One of niacin's unique properties is its ability to help you naturally relax and get to sleep more rapidly at night. And it is well established that niacin helps reduce harmful cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. explains: "Niacin is one of the best substances for elevating high density lipoprotein cholesterol (the "good cholesterol) and so decreases the ratio of the total cholesterol over high density cholesterol."
