HEART DISEASE IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF AMERICAN ADULTS.
Heart disease remains the number one killer for American adults, with coronary artery disease (CAD) as a major contributor to this terrible toll. CAD involves plaque buildup in the arteries which hinders blood flow – making it particularly insidious as there may be no signs until it has reached an advanced stage. For these reasons and more, this 'silent killer' remains one of health care's most significant challenges.

CONTROLLING CHOLESTEROL
​
Reducing cholesterol is one of the key treatments for preventing and treating coronary artery disease. The Mayo Clinic website lists statins and several other drugs as effective treatments to reduce cholesterol, but they also include niacin in their recommendations.
Niacin has come a long way since its discovery in the 1950s as the first oral agent for treating abnormal blood lipids to prevent cardiovascular disease and death. Early formulas, while effective, were unsophisticated and led to excess skin flushing and other side effects that were a nuisance. Today’s niacin changed all that.
​
NIACIN IS BACK!
​
Now, niacin is back, and it’s better than ever, thanks to innovations in tablet delivery to prevent flushing. It's supported by an impressive body of well-controlled clinical studies. And when you compare its benefits to those of statins, it’s the sure winner.
