5. Reduce Risk of Heart Disease
Some people take niacin supplements to reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis and heart disease. Researchers have recently discovered taking 50mg or more of niacin each day can help lower an individual's LDL cholesterol levels while increasing the HDL, the "good" cholesterol. The dose most people take as a treatment for high cholesterol ranges from 1,000mg-2,000mg per day.
