10 Benefits of Niacin
Niacin Benefit #8: Prevent Impotence
Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction, is the inability for a male to sustain an erection. Some factors that contribute to this disorder include stress, illness, and poor blood circulation. Fortunately, niacin can help increase blood flow to the genital regions of men by acting as a vasodilator.
Niacin can improve erectile function in men with dyslipidemia, high blood cholesterol and/or triglycerides, who are not taking statins. This treatment was most effective for men with moderate to severe erectile dysfunction. The convenience factor with niacin is that unlike with traditional medications for erectile dysfunction, niacin can be had at any time of the day regardless of when sexual activity takes place.
