What are the side effects of overdosing on niacin supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Niacin Overdose.: Too much Niacin does have the potential to affect your liver, so be careful. If this is something that has happened, you would need blood testing for liver enzymes right away. Stick to no more than 1500mg twice daily.
