For those of you having trouble with flushing... Plain old aspirin will fix that problem. I've tied niacin, didn't help my cholesterol levels as far as i could tell but, was only taking it once a day. I may give it another try.

All the statin drugs caused aching in my joints to the point of sleeplessness. I had been on niacin years ago but got off to try statin drugs. I take 1000mg at night and 500 in the morning, and am losing about thirty pounds with Weight Watchers. I don't have high blood pressure, I exercise daily, but the extra weight is literally killing me so it has to go. My joints don't hurt, I am m ... Show Full Comment

My joints don't hurt, I am more alert and although my cholesterol has spiked a little, I expect it to come down.

My first review here because this stuff CAN be a miracle. Take it with Inositol (makes it flush-free), and be careful not to over do this as liver toxicity can happen! I was already on generic Lipitor, but not getting good results as my lipid profile was horrid. So-so cholesterol, but triglycerides of 700+ and I was recovering from an early age stroke.

My first review here because this stuff CAN be a miracle. Take it with Inositol (makes it flush-free), and be careful not to over do this as liver toxicity can happen! I was already on generic Lipitor, but not getting good results as my lipid profile was horrid. So-so cholesterol, but triglycerides of 700+ and I was recovering from an early age stroke. Niacin/flush free, with the small amount of generic Lipitor (that didn't work alone before), and I now have a trig level of 120. And cholesterol that is better/acceptable. I take two, high-concentrate Omega-3 fish oils (make sure it is at least 50% Omega-3)and one 500mg niacin flush free(400 niacin/100 inositol), twice a day. Once in the morning and again in the afternoon/evening. May have saved my life. Be careful not to overdo this though. I work in a lab and have seen my own liver enzymes (ALT mostly) climb if I take too much. Take it only twice a day!
