Hi Marketmanpro,

 

Niacin is the generic form of niaspan.  There is some speculation that the manufacturing process of niaspan is more closely regulated therefore the final product may be superior.

 

Here is a link to information on niacin - http://www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/322.html

 

All the best,
