Hello Lindy, very nice informative thread. I've not had any health problems yet but a few years ago I got interested in own health and future. The only way I knew to measure that was by the numbers. The only number I haven't been able to get into a good range has been HDL. Last year I tested 40, but before that it has stayed in the mid 30's.

It looked like the best way to raise that number would be with niacin. What I don't like is all the problems and potential problems along with three different kinds you can take.

With all the news on Vitamin D3 is there still a reason to take such large doses of Niacin? Maybe a small amount to get some benefit and still don't have any liver problems? If Vitamin D3 can get the HDL in the right range isn't that the main goal?

I've bookmarked many post here that come from the Track Your Plaque site for further study. I'm also looking more into the heart scan test.
