I don’t believe I ever took it on an empty stomach and the flush only lasts 15-20 minutes.
MESO-Rx
Anabolic Steroids
Cholesterol meds.
- Thread starter Silentlemon1011
- Start date
Maybe that was my mistake.
A few years back I took one of these for my first time taking niacin. It was pretty intense. I still have the bottle somewhere because I never took another one. I guess if you start low and work your way up it's not so bad?

Starting at 1000 is insane!
Yeah, I underestimated how unpleasant the flushing was gonna be, lol. I figured it couldn't be that bad if they sold that dose over the counter. I was wrong. It was like a horrible, itchy sunburn.
I'm trying to get my cholesterol down again now. I'm hoping going down to 150mg of a test a week will do it. If not I might revisit the niacin thing.
I've tried it before in a supplement, I want to say 300mg.
Didnt do a LOT, I was a bit flushed and warm, but not bad.
But you're right, best to start low at like 250mg a s work my way up.
How long do you guys usually run a niacin protocol?
@Perrin Aybara , worked well for your LDL I presume?

Revisit the Niacin around 250 or 500. 500 may be harsh as well.

I want to say I ran it for 3 or 4 weeks.
That's pretty decent timing.
My goal is to have LDL in control in 6 weeks.
I think its doable with my suggested protocol.
I don't know, I only took it the one time. I would suggest not taking 1000mg your first time.

I actually enjoy the flush. But it hits me like high dose Beta A, which I also enjoy.
Maybe I'm just weird?

I use simvastatin

Take 10mg a day of Lipitor and quit fucking with. Statins are life saving drugs and do so much more than lower cholesterol. Personally, I think almost everyone over 40 should take a small dose of statin.
I've taken 10mg/day of simvastatin for the past 10 years. It was a given that when I went on TRT I went on a low dose of simvastatin to help keep cholesterol in check. It's still usually out of whack, but not nearly to the degree it would be not using it.
It's simply not natural to be hitting 200mg a week, or even 150/wk of testosterone into our 30's, 40's, 50's and beyond. Therefore, why would it be natural to have perfect cholesterol either while doing this?
Do some of these supplements work? Maybe to some degree, but IMO when the point comes that you may need something daily to stay in range then don't ignore it

LDL Cholesterol: “Bad” Cholesterol or bad Science? -Anthony Colpo

Anyone who follows Alan Aragon or subscribes to his research review should check the Novemeber 2011 issue. In it he references a study which states “ Elevation in the ratio of TG to HDL-c was the single most powerful predictor of extensive coronary heart disease among all the lipid variables examined.
