Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I would think the label has the recommendations you state below, because they are following a C Y A (cover your a-derriere) policy. From what I have read the flushing kind of niacin is what you need to use if you wish to lower LDL and raise HDL. In our litigious society a large portion of medicine is practiced to prevent law suits. IMO I doubt taking niacin in those cases listed below except for pregnancy would cause any problems, but I can say this without any worry, because I am not a medical doctor or the manufacturer of the vitamin niacin.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hi group, I actually went to the doctor the other and while I was there I inquired about the Niacin therapy. He said that, while he had never actually given it a lot of thought, there is no reason why it would not be quite effective. His only suggestion was that if the flushing caused any discomfort take an aspirin about 30 minutes before you do the Niacin thing. He also pointed out that the aspirin would also be beneficial to the heart. Cy, the Ancient One... --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
