Today I purchased 500mg. bottles of niacin (100ct) from Life Extension. They are on sale for $5.40, but I purchased 4 and the price went to $4.73. I actually purchased 12 (large crazy family) and got free shipping over $50.00. This seems like a very reasonable price. Many expressed interest in niacin for alcoholism, arthritis, lowering cholesterol and even schizophrenia. Life Extension is a wonderful company with great products and lots of information. This is where I purchase my Super K, which goes along with vitamin D. Just thought I would pass along a source to purchase quality vitamins. I am taking their BioActive B complex also, with a general 100mg. profile, in a powdered capsule form and I am finding I like that better than a hard pill. I think you can type in Life Extension.com to get to their site. God bless....

This is ironic. Two days ago my doc put me on a statin drug to lower my triglycerides. I've taken the damn thing 2 nights in a row and had an asthma attack each night. I don't usually have attacks and sure as hell not as severe as what the statin did. Niacin sounds like a much better option. I'm more comfortable going the Niacin and Cheerios/oatmeal route.
Statins ARE NOT good....just read up on dosages and how to take...good luck!.
Please for your sake stop taking statins. They are so bad for your liver and studies show they don’t extend your life one iota
I have. Only took it for two nights and that was enough for me. Before beginning I read enough of the potential side effects to make me cautious to begin with. Having an asthma attack only a few hours later was enough to seal the deal.
I've had asthma for decades and usually it's more of a discomfort than anything. The first night using the statin the attack was so bad my wife, a nurse, was pressing me to go to the ER.
It's odd to me that the whole reason my cholesterol went through the roof to begin with was due to using a medication that my dermatologist prescribed; Accutane. I swear these meds don't cure shit, they only treat a symptom and create additional issues that you have to have more meds to address. It's an endless loop.
Check out Jiaogulan tea. Got my dad on it. He is type 2 diabetic, high cholesterol, etc. Takes statins too.
After what I read about statins...
I saw many accounts of people reducing their cholesterol, hp, and even improving blood sugars with this tea. Tea of immortality.
Sincerely believe God gave us everything we need.
Statins lower your CoQ10 levels . . . which is the opposite of what you want, especially if you're interested in cardiovascular health. BIG list of other nasty side-effects, too; research that if you haven't already; it'll give you pause.
If you decide to keep taking the statin, at least supplement with a significant amount (I'd consider 200mg or more) of CoQ10.
