Niacin overdose: What are the symptoms?




Atherosclerosis is a slow, progressive disease that may begin as early as childhood. Although the exact cause is unknown, researchers suspect that atherosclerosis starts with damage or injury to the inner layer of an artery. The damage may be caused by:
High blood pressure
High cholesterol Add Image
An irritant, such as nicotine
Certain diseases, such as diabetes
Once the inner wall of an artery is damaged, blood cells called platelets often clump at the injury site to try to repair the artery, leading to inflammation. Over time, fatty deposits (plaques) made of cholesterol and other cellular waste products also accumulate at the injury and harden, narrowing your arteries. The organs and tissues connected to the blocked arteries then don't receive enough blood to function properly

  1. As women age, they experience a decrease in skin elasticity which produces sagging, wrinkles and age spots. Botox and other cosmetic facelift procedures can be both painful and expensive. If you are looking for a safe alternative that is less expensive, the Alphaderma skin care system is the answer to your skin care problems without painful injections.
