Too much Niacin can kill you though.Daily recommended is something like 18mg, but somepeople - under doctors strict supervision - do take a much high dose. Niacin is like super caffeine, you take much over at one time 100mg you can kill yourself with it. Don't ever drink a red bull or two and take niacin at the same time.
Before taking any amount of Niacin you need to check how much is already in your system naturally.
