The Taking of Niacin

Approximately 15 yrs. ago I found out that my chlosterol was 8.5. After convincing my Doctor to test me after 3 months, at which time I took niacin.

After the 3 months was up I returned for the testing of my cholestrol. My cholestrol dropped from the 8.5 to 3.5.

The doctor was astounded and asked me what I had done. I told him that I started taking Niacin and walking and tryed to eat healthy.

The flushing feeling thats attributed to taking niacin was overwhelming after a while. Although I was up to 1500 mgr. a day.

Today I take lipitor, but because of all the health benefits of niacin, I am considering taking niacin again.
