Hi,

I've seen recommendations of up to 1000 mg 3 times a day of regular niacin for the best effect! I could never make it that high, 500 mg a day is the best I can do and taking an aspirin with it helps to reduce the flushing. It's really cheap though and you do kind of adjust to it after a while. Here is something I copied from a book, in the interest of my fingers the second column is effectiveness and the third is safety. Sorry it's kind of ugly but we can't use html to format messages.

Alfalfa C A
Artichoke B C
Beta-sitosterol B- A
Carnitine B+ B
Chitosan B B
Chromium B- B
Fenugreek B+ C
Fiber A A
Fructooligosaccharides B A
Gamma-oryzanol B B
Garlic A A
Ginseng (Panax) B C
Guggol A A
Niacin A D
Pantethine A A
Phosphatidycholine B A
Policosanol A A
Red yeast extract A D
Royal jelly A D
Soy isoflavones B B
Tocotrienols B+ A

I have no idea what some of this stuff is. Really high dose niacin and red yeast get a D because they're hard on your liver, the time-release niacin is worse. I assume royal jelly gets a D because some people are allergic to it.
