Has anyone on here tried Niacin to lower cholesterol? My father, aged 73, had quadruple bypass about six years ago and has been on prescription cholesterol lowering meds, BP meds, etc. since then.
About two years ago he started taking 500-1000 mg of over-the-counter Niacin per day and during his quarterly check-ups he sees a noticeable increase of the "good" cholesterol and a drop in the "bad". Other meds are still the same, but some dosages have been cut.
