"My gastro dr says to stay away from vit B because of the hep C & my liver. "

TIME-RELEASE niacin has caused liver problems for sure, not sure if immediate release has been linked to anything. I had a doctor that recommended Nicotinic acid (not niacinamide) for cholesterol reduction, and he stated that it had to be the type that caused flushing. I can personally attest to that type's efficacy in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides. An aspirin will help with the flushing.

Why take aspirin for the flushing? This doesn't make sense. By the time the aspirin would take effect, the flushing is gone.

I love niacin. It's the only vitamin that I know when it's working! When the flushing occurs (it doesn't always)I just drink room temp water and it goes away.
