sustained release supplement-okay?

[Guest guest]

I know not to use timed release niacin, hard on the liver but my dh purchased

some " timed release " PABA and I'm wondering if there is a problem with timed

release.

Here are the ingredients:

PABA 1000 mgs

Stearic acid

di-calcium phosphate

rice bran

hydroxpropyl methylcellulose

magnesium stearate

silica

pharmaceutical glaze

Here's what the back of the bottle says: In a special base which provides for

the gradual release of ingredients over a prolonged period of time.

We would be crushing this as the dosage is too high and putting it in capsules.

I know this would most likely destroy the " timed release " mechanism but would it

be detrimental?

Thanks,
