I use an extended release form that you can get over the counter from Endurance Products. Found it as a result of a book I read by Robert Kowalski. I had no flushing and it has kept my cholesterol in check without the side effects I was having from a statin. Worth checking out for anyone on this board who needs some cholesterol reduction but is having trouble with a statin. I’m NOT a shill! Just someone with a genetic predisposition towards high cholesterol who ran into trouble with statins and ended up getting a reduction from the very, very old school niacin. Your mileage may vary.

Be very careful with extended release niacin. Check the research. All of the liver damage found from niacin has been from extended release niacin. The results I read a few years ago were plenty persuasive that I prefer to endure the flush.
