Summary: One of the major health issues many people deal with today is high cholesterol. This, no doubt, is directly correlated to the proliferation of Statin medications developed for individuals suffering from high cholesterol. These medications typically come with a long list of potential contra-indications and concerns for individuals using them. One natural way to deal with cholesterol management is through the use of Niacin. Niacin has been extensively studied and has been shown to be both safe and effective in the management of cholesterol. However, many people using Niacin experience what is known as the “Niacin Flush” which happens because Niacin opens the capillaries and allows blood to flow into the skin, causing the sensation of warmth and mild redness. In this week’s podcast, Steve interviews Dan Murray, the VP of Business Development with Xsto Solutions, the manufacturer of a unique ingredient called NiaXtend a unique Niacin formulation supported with 7 clinical trials for efficacy and safety. Niaxtend is an extended release form of niacin which significantly reduces the amount of flushing. Join us for this informative interview with Dan Murray and, as always, if you are considering adding this to your daily regimen, please consult with your physician prior. Enjoy!
