¿Qué es Niacin Er?

La Niacina ER (liberación extendida) es una forma de vitamina B3 utilizada principalmente para tratar la deficiencia de niacina y para ayudar a reducir los niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos en la sangre. Funciona reduciendo la producción de ciertos ácidos grasos y aumentando los niveles de lipoproteína de alta densidad (HDL), o colesterol "bueno". Las formulaciones de liberación extendida de niacina liberan el ingrediente activo gradualmente, minimizando efectos secundarios como el enrojecimiento, al mismo tiempo que mantienen su eficacia en el manejo de lípidos.
