so it makes you more vascular? Is it for a short period of time or longer? What is the daily doses for niacin? Are there specific times you should take it? | ||

1000mg taken three times a day has been shown to reduce visceral (belly) fat after 7 to 18 weeks. Fat loss was increased with longer therapy. Also noted were significant increases in HDL (good) cholesterol. Doses were increased gradually to avoid painful stinging and flushing caused by high doses of Niacin. ------------------ | ||

It makes you all red and itchy- the only niacin i would even be concerned with is whatever is found in a multivitamin. | ||
