Niacin (Vitamin B3) para High Triglycerides (Hypertriglyceridemia)

B Evidencia Al menos un ensayo aleatorizado lo respalda, con resultados mayoritariamente consistentes.

Reduces triglycerides 20-50% dose-dependently. Particularly effective for combined dyslipidemia (high TG + low HDL). Flushing limits adherence with immediate-release forms.
