Niacin should be taken as the 'flush' variety. The non flush variety damages the liver. It is very good taken in conjunction with other B vitamins. I took it for quite a while but found it made my already low blood pressure even lower so stopping it for a while. Get a good make, ie Solgar, Lamberts, Nutri etc etc. not H&B.

I have been on Niacin for 12months & have had great results. I get it from Bodybuilding.com Now Niacin 500mg 250 tabs for around $10.00usd plus postage the cheap postage is about $3.00 & takes about 14 days you can pay more & get it quicker. Normally you can get 2x bottles for the same postage. Good luck & God bless
