[boxcar]

I've just started niacin, and i've reading up on it.

I use niacin, immediate release. I'm slowly working my way up.

But, say I want to take 1g of niacin. To i take it all at once? or 500mg am and 500mg pm?

Flush.

For health, you needed around 1.5g
Google niacin and aspirin, steriods. Should pop up first result.

i take 1.5g every night right before bed, sleep through the flush.

Dang. That's A lot....for me.

Is it bad to dose 3 times a day? Or is taking it all at once the purple

I asked my doctor the same thing, he said really didnt matter. through the day with flush type gets a little annoying. So i take it at bedtme. He recomended the flush type over the non-flush. Dont remeber his exact words why one was better than the other. I've been doing this for years with no issues. he also walked my dose up from 500mg to 1.5g over a period of 8 months or so based on bloods/Cholesterol

No flush niacin does nothing. It's like eating chips of a cast iron pan and thinking you'll cure anemia. The health benefits happen when you feel the flush. If you gradually increase though you can pretty much take as much as you want with only a very mild flush.

I'm currently at 300mg in the morning, and 300mg at night.

Of course the flush type.

I take the flush free twice a day with green coffee bean pills. My abs have never looked better.

 

[Sewnmouth]

Damn, add some garcinia cambogia and you've got yourself a juicy stack.

What does the coffee bean do?
Does it work synergistically with niacin?

If you wanna know the Scientific answer I'm not your guy. I basically just added 2 things together that would help my metabolism burn fat. I've always taken Nician .I'm getting older where I can't eat like I use to with out putting on unwanted fat.
