What the Evidence Says

AI-generated · Qwen 3.6 · grounded in 1 source · methodology

Niacin is used to support cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health, with strong evidence supporting its efficacy. However, the low safety score indicates potential concerns, such as the risk of flushing or liver toxicity. This timed-release formula aims to manage these effects over time.
