How long does ski-niacin remain in the stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Niacin: Niacin is vitamin B3. It is available in foods but taken as a supplement it is used to lower cholesterol. It depends upon the preparation (I could not find information on ski-niacin). Regular niacin will be absorbed from the stomach rapidly and will be eliminated from the body in 24 hours. Time release niacins will be absorbed and eliminated more slowly.
