NiaVasc supports all healthy blood lipid parameters The National Cholesterol Education Panel (NCEP) considers niacin "first-line therapy" for improving blood lipids related to cardiovascular health. Niacin is the ONLY therapy that consistently improves the ENTIRE lipid profile. XYMOGEN's Sustained-Release Niacin, with its proprietary wax-coated technology, not only supports healthy lipid levels just as well as the instant-release forms; it also dramatically reduces the flushing effect. This means potentially more people can realize its benefits.
