Just wondering if anyone has ever tried niacin tabs and what good it did. I heard that they pick up your metabolic rate alot. If benificial how much should I take?

i take niacin for cholesterol and triglyceride lowering purposes...they work great for that, but i never noticed increased metabolic rate...too much niacin can be liver toxic...

Careful with niacin - - if you take too much it could cause an intense flushing of your skin. I don’t think this side effect is dangerous, but it can be alarming if you suddenly feel like you are running a fever and turn red like a beet. (It has happened to me a few times before.)

So how much is too much? I have 500mg tabs but am cutting them in half.
