| Metagenics Lipotain™ Nutritional Support for Healthy Lipid Levels 60 Tablets Lipotain™ is a powerful natural formula designed to support healthy cholesterol, triglyceride, and lipoprotein (a) levels by supplying a potent quantity (500mg) of inositol hexanicotinate per tablet. This unique, sustained-release form of niacin is effective without the uncomfortable side effects associated with conventional niacin, such as flushing. For enhanced blood lipid support, Lipotain™ also features a standardized extract of guggul resin, which has a long history of traditional use in the Indian system of Ayurveda. Guggul resin may help maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A Slow-Release Form of Niacin Lipotain™ features the benefits of inositol hexanicotinate (IHN), a natural, slowly metabolized form of niacin. Niacin is will established as a nutrient that helps maintain healthy lipid levels; however, niacin supplementation is often associated with side effects such as flushing, increased blood sugar, and increased uric acid. In attempts to find a safer form of niacin, researchers have discovered the value of IHN. IHN does not reach maximum serum levels for approximately 10 hours after ingestion, and has fewer and less severe side effects. The compound consists of six molecules of niacin and one molecule of inositol. It is metabolized in the body into its component parts, niacin and inositol, allowing for the positive benefits associated with both nutrients. When administered orally, the result is a sustained increase in serum levels of free niacin. One Tablet Provides: |
