    @lilliannakamaru78997 years ago Dr. Kiel, you forgot to mention: Niacin in higher doses incrementally (especially, 500 to 3000 mg) reduces Lp(a), a common cause of atherosclerosis and heart attacks (especially when 50% of people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol, but often have high Lp(a) as not commonly tested by most physicians. I'm on niacin 1500mg for that). Niacin is the only (or one of the very few) methods to treat high Lp(a) as it is genetic. To reduce increase in fasting glucose (or HbA1c) from higher doses, I take it at 3 pm and eat early dinner (or often skip it, like a 16 hour fast till next breakfast; usually salad, no carbs, remember it converts food to energy) and do some workout (to use the energy) while watching news at pm. ... 13

    @allenmiller20718 years ago Its interesting, I took 100 mg and I had a flush within 10 minutes. After that I took 50 mg several times a day with an hour or more in between. I never got a flush at this level. I now take about 10 doses of 50 mg a day. 3

    @edwardchoi82996 years ago I took 1.5g of Niacin to lower cholesterol (65kg and 165cm). About 2 months of 1.5g of Niacin, I felt nausea, dryness of skin and cannot take meats. My blood pressure has come down substantially from 140/90 level to 110/70 level. But now I reduced the dosage to 250-500mg a day. I think liver damage is a real issue with high dose of niacin. With a bit lower (500mg a day), I don’t feel that side effects. Flush is not so much of concern, but vomiting and nausea which seems to link to liver damage can be a big thing. ... 3
