> 5000mg or 5grams daily.
Are you taking that much to lower cholestorol? The highest recommendation I've seen is 3 grams a day, for me that amount causes too much discomfort. I take 1.5 grams a day usually and an aspirin with each dose, that helps reduce the flush.
Does your doctor know you're taking that much? Mine is ok with taking niacin but she monitors my liver enzymes.
