[edit] No criticism

have there been no criticisms of multivitamins i also agree with the preceding statement

I heard that vitamin supplements are not very efficient, according to a med student here in Norway... can anyone come with a statement to the efficiency of most over the counter multivitamins, preferably comparing them to other vitamin supplements. cKaL 18:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'time release' niacin?

what is mean by "time release niacin, especially old versions over one hour" ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Substantiate (talk • contribs) 02:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

Niacin is typically marketed in several forms, from pure, "instant release" niacin ([1]) to various degrees of time release. also see this discussion[2] The old slow("sustained") time release tablets, over 1 hour, are the type most frequently associated with problems, especially with alcoholics and advanced liver disease. New, "extended" or "intermediate release" forms (e.g. Enduracin and Niaspan), under one hour have been offered in the US to optimize the flushing and slow release side effects to improve compliance for HDL and dyslipidemia improvements.--TheNautilus 04:34, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
