The cardiology clinic at Scripps Clinics specifies pure crystalline niacin. They're adamant that no-flush niacin has almost no effect on cholesterol and lipids and provides no protection against cardiovascular disease, and that recent studies have not supported earlier results.

I'll be seeing Erminia M. Guarneri, M.D ( http://www.scripps.org/News.asp?ID=326 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-...Review&page=13 and http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Speaks-C...1531183&sr=1-1 ) toward the end of the month, and will ask her for references.
