        Apparently immediate release/crystalline niacin is whats needed. The one that causes hot flush

          I have success with 500 mg ed. The no flush stuff typically does not contain nicotinic acid the active ingredient that helps with cholesterol. I usually take it before bed so I don't have to deal with the flush effects and people asking why I look so red.

            Thats exactly what im hearing.

            The last time I was tested my total was 212.68 mg/dl but the real issue was low HDL which was 19.33.

            Now the fact that I ate a bacon sandwhich earlier that day and also had been running oral anavar for months previous doesn't help but still I need to change things up. Regular cardio now, fish oils and looking at naicin. Was gonna do red rice extract but since read its basically a statin so ditching that idea.

            What cause u to use naicin and what have been its effects with you?

              Last year with tren my levels were out of range and it helped keep them in order.
