Customer Reviews of Slo-Niacin Controlled Release Niacin 500 mg -150 Tablets
Customer Review: Better than Niaspan at 1/10th the cost
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of the bad reviews on this product are from poorly informed reviewers. One reviewer claimed that Slo-Niacin's ingredients lowered HDL. This is nonsense. People, the active ingredient here is Nicotinic Acid, or Niacin. Most people tolerate it very easily, as the delivery system allows it to enter your system Slo-ly. I take 2000 mg a day, 1000 mg in the morning, and 1000 before I go to bed. I was on Crestor and Niaspan (prescription Niacin) at 1000 mg and my cholesterol readings were still not low enough.
My doctor wanted to increase my Niaspan to 2000 mg, but it would have cost me $660 for 90 day's supply, or $2,640 a year. Slo-Niacin at the present dosage will cost me $135!! After 6 weeks after adding Slo-Niacin, my my total cholesterol went from 170 to 149, my HDL went from 42 to 60, my LDL went from 84 to 80, and my triglycerides went from 86 to 42. I have had zero side effects (I do get flushing from plain Nicotinic Acid, but none from Slo-Niacin).
This product has been on the market for over 20 years, and Upsher-Smith, its manufacturer has been manufacturing both non-prescription and prescription medications since 1919. It is a respected and trusted pharmaceutical company.
Niacin does not work for all people, but it does for the vast majority. It has been proven safe and effective in numerous clinical trials, including one at the Mayo clinic in the 1950's.
This isn't snake oil. But if you take over 500 mg, you need to be monitored by a physician. In my case, my liver enzymes actually went DOWN, and are well within normal range.
