I just can't believe how the use of Niacin has improved my physcial well-being in one day. Try it, I swear it works. Tell me, how you made out. I took 500MG and Flushing and pin-prick is part of the side-effects. I can deal with that if it keeps heart attack at bay. And, NO - I don't work for Niacin. Google it and read about the success people have had.

I'm confused, how did it improve your physical well-being? All you list are the side-effects. What problems are there with the 'slow-release crap' and what version are you referring to? I'm currently on 1500mg/day of NiaSpan, an extended release version of niacin. My HDL has gone up after almost a year on NiaSpan. (incidentally, I don't believe that it lowers any cholesterol values, just raises good HDL).

Hi-
All I can tell you is I took 500 MG of Niatonic Acid and I felt better with an 2 hours. Don't forget it supposedly has an effect on triglycerides. So, maybe my triglycierides where high. In any event it worked. I went from having left arm pain and chest tightness to feeling relaxed and comfortable. For the record, I'm a guy that consistently has low HDL.. I can never get it over 42 even when I'm an excellent shape. I can only tell you my experience, so take it for what its worth. Its no problem if you don't believe me. I'm not selling anything.

Scout100 I have heard of lot of people taking it, and they was happy with the results. Thank you for sharing.

There's a website cholesterolscore.com that focuses entirely on the therapeutic use of niacin. After having read many of the articles, there, I made the switch from Lipitor to niacin. All my blood/lipid numbers improved, as did the nagging muscle & memory problems associated with Lipitor. Not having to pay the insurance co-payments for Lipitor really improved my bank-account balance, too.
