A member asked:
Does niacin flush free work in the same way as regular niacin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: They work the same way: very little. It may help triglycerides and improve good cholesterol but all studies show that even if the numbers are better, they do NOT diminish patients changes oh heart attack, stroke or mortality..

Yes.: Works just as well and tolerance is better. Shoot for 2000-3000mg daily in divided doses.
