Anyone take Niacin? I saw a recent publication that Niacin may actually be worse for CV disease.
"How excess niacin may promote cardiovascular disease"

Thanks for sharing this. I did the initial patient study on Niacin where we got up to 3000 mg/day. It did lower LDL and raise HDL, and I was on this (at 2000) until a few years ago when word started getting out that the high Niacin intake had a negative effect. The world is still learning what works and what doesn't
