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.
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.
