Ventureman,
As I said, what suits the goose.......!
You push Niacin on this board because it personally works for you and suits you. But only a minority of people reading this board have reported success obtaining better overall cholesterol figures using just Niacin.
At the very high dose that you reportedly take, I certainly would not recommend this high intake to anybody, under any circumstances.
My wife was on 1000mg, and that was as far as I would let her go because of the chance of developing organ damage amongst other reported side effects through long term use of higher doses.
Niacin, even in a known working combination did not achieve the desired results for the love of my life (yawn, yawn!!), so another avenue was approached, which is working, and working very well.
I wonder how I got my wife's Trig's down 42.7% by NOT taking niacin, and without fibrates as well. The secret is within my original post.
Hence, the working combination has been passed on for other readers to try.
You should start seeing results after about three months, depending if you are a 'goose' or a 'gander'.
Note that her HDL readings have been fairly constant, whether on or off Niacin. For the past five months, no Niacin.
If your HDL/Trigs readings are low whilst taking RYR, then yes, drink a glass of red wine each day to boost your HDL. I do not recommend the intake of Niacin in which ever form it comes in, with RYR.
FYI: RYR is not a statin. Lovastatin is a synthetic copy of one of the by-products of RYR. You don't remember?
Your writings remind me of a former member of this board.
