My understanding is that the no-flush niacin does not lower cholesterol. It does however help with Alzheimer's if taken in large enough doses.

The real stuff is also a good way to increase circulation as well as the cholesterol lowering which the slow release doesn't do.

What benefits can you get from the Niacin bound to Inositol? And so far what you've said lines up with the reading I've been doing. I just don't know why the Niacin/Inositol would be recommended by a doctor instead of regular Niacin. For instance it's a recommended Niacin type in the Iodine Protocol. The literature says it doesn't have the same effect but then it frustrates the devil out of me because it won't say what the differences are or what effects it actually has that are beneficial. Do you know? I'd be grateful for clearing up of the muddled information I've found. Annie
