Question:

What is a good dose for Niacin?

What is your experience with niacin? I want to start on a low dose and then build up - until I can tolerate a mild flush whiel asleep. What dose should I start at? How long does the typical flush last? I do not want to use extended release tablets. Thanks.

The recommended daily allowance of niacin is 2-12 mg a day for children, 14 mg a day for women, 16 mg a day for men, and 18 mg a day for pregnant or breast-feeding women.
