As an addendum, my mother couldn’t take them either, but for her, they messed up her liver.

I was taking niacin for cholesterol but it increased the enzyme levels of my liver, so the doctor took me off ..

I have always had good levels before....and I don't drink....so that's why she immediately had me drop the niacin..

I Googled this and it seems it happens quite often....certain supplements....even 'natural' types from health food stores, should be monitored.
