Interactions
enhances. Niacin lowers LDL and raises HDL via distinct mechanism from statins; combination provides additive lipid benefits but increases risk of myopathy and hepatotoxicity
synergistic. Both support blood sugar metabolism — niacin (as NAD/NADP) is involved in glucose-insulin signaling while chromium enhances insulin receptor sensitivity
synergistic. B1, B2, B3 are sequential cofactors in mitochondrial energy production; B3 as NAD+ is the final electron acceptor from thiamine-dependent reactions
inhibits. Alcohol metabolism consumes NAD+ (from niacin), depleting the body's NAD+ stores; chronic alcohol use combined with poor diet causes pellagra (niacin deficiency)
