Niacin Does More Than
Lower Cholesterol
Don't forget niacin!
I'm
Gene Millen. In 1990 a heart surgeon, sawed open my
chest and stitched in bypasses to six of my favorite heart arteries.
It
wasn't as much fun as you might think...and started me on a journey to helping
others avoid my mistakes.
My
experience in exercise weight loss includes
eleven years working with hundreds of people in the
Vital Life Center, a
health and wellness club for the "over 50 crowd.
There are a number of specific
natural medicines that effectively lower cholesterol levels. Since new ones
come along all the time it is easy to forget just how impressive the results
are with niacin.
Niacin does more than lower cholesterol!
The cholesterol lowering activity of niacin was first described in the 1950s. It is now known that
it does much more than lower total cholesterol.
-
Specifically, this
heart supplement has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol, Lp(a) lipoprotein, triglyceride, and fibrinogen levels while simultaneously raising HDL cholesterol levels.
-
To reduce flushing -
Inositol hexaniacinate
Inositol hexaniacinate is a form of niacin that has long been used in Europe
to lower cholesterol levels. It is much better tolerated, in terms of both flushing and, more
importantly, long-term side-effects.
-
HDLs increased 33%
The percentage increase in HDL cholesterol, a more significant indicator for coronary heart disease, was
dramatically in favor of niacin (33% vs. 7%).
-
Lp(a) lipoprotein levels
dropped 35%
While niacin produced a 35% reduction in Lp(a) lipoprotein levels,
lovastatin did not produce any effect. Other studies have shown that niacin can lower Lp(a) levels by an average of 38%.2,3
-
It Works Well With
Diabetics
Because taking this supplement at higher dosages (e.g., 3,000 mg or more) can impair glucose tolerance, many physicians have avoided niacin therapy in diabetics, but newer studies with slightly lower dosages (1,000 to 2000 mg) of niacin have not shown it to adversely effect blood sugar regulation.7
-
Diabetic cholesterol
profiles
If you take a look at the most common blood lipid abnormality in type 2 diabetic patients it is elevated
triglyceride levels, decreased HDL cholesterol levels, and a preponderance of smaller, denser LDL particles.
-
Other occasional side-effects of niacin
in higher doses include gastric irritation, nausea, and liver damage.
To reduce the side effect of skin flushing you can use some of the newer time-released formulas
like the one included in the
Cholest-Check Formula.
Another
heart
supplement
that you
need is
Coenzyme Q10
Statin Drugs can
rob you of Co Q10!
If you are taking any of the statin family of drugs to lower your cholesterol you should not be without CoQ10.
Other drugs, such as beta blockers and some antidepressants, also interfere with Coenzyme Q10.
If you are taking Lipitor, Crestor or Vytorin and are not
taking CoQ10 click here.
"Coenzyme-Q10,
commonly known as CoQ10, is energy on call." So says, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a board certified cardiologist who
integrates conventional medicine with nutrition at his New England Heart
and Longevity Center. Sinatra continues,
"I have long
considered CoQ10 a wonder nutrient because of its ability to support heart
health."
Coenzyme Q10
(CoQ10) is one of the most potent
antioxidants known. It provides
the "energizing spark" that
enables the heart muscle to pump
blood more efficiently, and it's a
great scavenger of free radicals.
More than 100 clinical studies at
major universities and hospitals have documented the actions of Coenzyme Q10.
Bio-availability is the key.
No supplement will help you if your body can't use it
effectively. CoQ10 is a notoriously bulky nutrient that's quite hard
to absorb and therefore the type of supplement you choose can
make all the difference.
New Form of Coenzyme Q10 Announced by Dr. Al
Sears!
Al Sears, MD, graduated from the University of South
Florida, College of Medicine with honors in Internal
Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry and Physical Medicine.
Dr. Sears is Board Certified in Anti-Aging Medicine a member
of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine
He has been appointed to the international panel of experts
for Health Sciences Institute, a worldwide consulting
service for integrative healthcare. He is also an adjunct
professor at Barry University.
Dr. Sears has been a lifelong advocate of nutritional
supplementation and exercise programs. He is an ACE
certified fitness trainer, has a thriving practice in
Florida and has written several books.
Does Your CoQ10 Really Work?
Dr. Sears says, "If You’re Taking the Wrong Kind You May Be Wasting Your Money!"
"The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 are already well established… Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don’t feel any different after they start taking CoQ10.
"When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why.
"As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good.
"In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion’s share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears – making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.
"Fortunately, I’ve found a simple way to solve this problem forever …
