High doses of niacin available via prescription can cause:
• Severe skin flushing combined with dizziness
• Rapid heartbeat
• Itching
• Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
• Gout
• Liver damage
• Diabetes
Just a caution. Niacin is a B vitamin and is a recognized part of a healthy heart treatment, but it shouldn't be done without professional supervision. The great American mantra of "If one is good, five are better" doesn't really hold up in medicine.
Good luck and let us know how the results turn out.
