Content: My Dr. prescribed a Rx for this when I was first found to have a lowering of my HDL. While taking the first prescription which was expensive as it was not available in a generic drug at that time, I started researching it's composition and found it to be primarily a highly refined version of vitamin B-3 (Niacin). I switch to this instead of the Rx after the first 30 days and it worked just as well as the Rx. My Dr. eventually raised me up to 2500 Mg/day until my HDL reached a good level. I've sinced switched off to just Omega 3 fatty acid (Fish Oil) which did not maintain my level as the B-3, but had none of the flushing side effect. Now I'm back with a combo of the two, taking 2400 mg Fish Oil plus 500 mg B-3 which has improved the HDL since the previous check.
