Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand whether a vitamin called NIcotinic ACid vitamIN (NIACIN for short, also known as vitamin B3) helps the body process dietary fat more efficiently. This is important because people with dyslipidemia have a problem with how they process fat, which raise the risk of heart disease.
