Niacin is a B-vitamin. When taken as a prescription in larger doses, it can help lower cholesterol and other fats in your blood. Niacin helps:
- Raise HDL (good) cholesterol
- Lower LDL (bad) cholesterol
- Lower triglycerides, another type of fat in your blood
Niacin works by blocking how your liver makes cholesterol. Cholesterol can stick to the walls of your arteries and narrow or block them.
