Niacin aids in cholesterol management by lowering LDL and VLDL cholesterol while increasing HDL cholesterol. It inhibits fat breakdown in adipose tissue, which reduces LDL and VLDL production.
Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, plays a crucial role in cholesterol management. It works by inhibiting the breakdown of fats (lipolysis) in adipose tissue, thereby reducing the production of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol. Simultaneously, niacin can increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. This combined effect contributes to a healthier lipid profile.
