A member asked:
Would it be safe to take niacin 100mg long term as everyday supplement?or would it cause harm to my liver?it makes my skin smooth & glowing.i love it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Niacin long term: At that dose - Niacin would be safe - niacin is a B vitamin and thus water soluble so if you don't need it - the body excretes it by way of urine. Niacin at much higher doses is associated with a flushing sensation and can cause liver injury but at your dose - i believe it would be safe Good luck
