Thanks!

Thank you both very much. I was trying to understand the science of how the niacin lowers the cholesterol as getting sick really scared me. I've started both the flush free niacin and vitamin c. My doctor is definitely wanting me on statins and there is no way I would go on them. So I need to lower my readings so he'll get off my back. My last test (see below) was before any supplements. I've just upped my vit c to 18 grams. Niacin at 1000mg. Do you think this is enough? Thanks again!
