      I agree that niacin is great for sleep, but that’s quite a large dose of niacin. The average person is going to have a pretty significant flush effect just from a 50mg dose. 1g is gonna prickle and burn like nobody’s business.

        That’s strange. Most niacin doses that I have seen are in the 500 mg range and the suggestion I was told was to take one gram and I don’t notice any weird issues from it at all.

        the niacin is supposed to help reduce free fats in your bloodstream and prevent or reverse atherosclerosis and to help get your blood flowing.
