Just take a small dose.
When you get used to it you can take a ton.
I like the flush.
You can do that if you want to get a state break without taking drugs.
Start at 500 milligrams

the mayo clinic thinks you are overdoing it....
personally, i just check the color of my pee to know how dietary supplements are being absorbed. seems to work for moi. YMMV.
Yeah my cholesterol is up and they gave me crestor. I really don’t want to take it.
Try the niacin first.
buy a home blood pressure machine for $30 and start willing yourself to have lower blood pressure.
Don't take the statins if you can avoid.

I already gave in to some other meds and it’s just an endless cycle. I have to draw the line somewhere.
Crestor has less serious side effects than a heart attack. If you get side effects there's alternative statins that you will tolerate. Most people take them before bed to sleep though any side effects. The honest truth is that high cholesterol is more genetic than dietary depending on your levels today....lowering it naturally to healthy levels is very difficult to impossible.
It's hard to find a modern medicine that has saved more lives than statins.
It's extremely rare to someone in the United States or most of the Western world to be niacin deficient.

Atorvastatina here for cholesterol. At night. After years of taking blood pressure medicine I don’t take anything for that anymore. I take vitamin b complex, can’t remember how much niacin but it’s easy to tell it’s passing through and I think that’s what your system didn’t absorb anyway?
Cholesterol goes hand in hand with elevated glucose levels, especially as you get older.
