In addition to anti-inflammatory effects, magnesium also facilitates hundreds of enzymatic processes with wide effects in the body. In any event, inflammation is not always bad in that, properly directed, it helps to destroy pathogens and police aberrant and damaged cells.
Exactly, except when inflammation is driven by poor nutrition and/or exposure to toxins (all the regular bad things).
“Adequate doses of niacin taken long-term can help to prevent atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and related coronary disease.”

That really makes me wonder why my cardiologist told me not to take niacin right after my heart attack last summer, when I inquired about using it instead of a statin. On top of those benefits, Niacin won’t reduce my coenzyme Q10 levels, as any statin will.
By the way, everyone on this thread should be aware that heat destroys B vitamins. So having some Niacin along with a hot cup of green tea is going to destroy the niacin, or at least most of it. Either have the tea at a much lower temperature, or space the two out a little bit.
Do the research. On Niacin, niacinamide, nicotinic acid, all forms of B3, the research goes back to the 40s, and the 50s for applications to heart disease.
Follow the money.
Niacin is a vitamin, and as such, cannot be patented.
Heat also destroys Vitamin C. Check research of Dr. Linus Pauling re cardio benefits of Vitamin C.
Also suggest look up Vitamin C and Lysine protocols.
Best, N.
