A member asked:
What's to be expected? might vitamin b3 reduce cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Vitamin b3 is better known as niacin. In large doses, it can lower cholesterol and raise the HDL ("good" cholesterol) but it's not as effective as a statin and the outcome data is not as convincing as a statin.
