Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Once-Daily Niacin for Dyslipidemia
The dosages used in this study (1,000 and 1,500 mg) are very reasonable and low enough to avoid most side effects (most notable is flushing). Participants had elevations of HDL up to 25%, which is a large jump unmatched by most pharmaceuticals (most don’t touch HDL levels).
