... What I've read about niacin is that in order to have the beneficial effect on HDL, a therapeutic dose of 2000 - 3000mg per day needs to be reached. I've also had some discussions with local pharmacists that claim that liver toxicity is rare in daily doses under 6000mg/day! Now, that assumes no pre-existing liver condition and the use of regular niacin as opposed to the time-released or flush-free versions which tend to increase the risk of hepatotoxicity. ...
