People.....please be aware that niacin in the time-released form has been proven in medical trials to do damage to the liver. I noticed in a posting someone recommended getting the time-release niacin, so I felt compeled to write and notify everyone that it is extremely unsafe to use. The liver does well....breaking down niacin in a one time amount and proceeds to release the histimine in the body. Homohistine levels are always high in people having had or about to have a heart attack. The time-released version of niacin....puts great strain on the liver to have to break down the niacin many, many times each day. Please use Niacin (Nicotinonic Acid) at maximum dosage of 3000 mg. per day.
