The flush niacin comes in immediate release and slow release. Not everyone gets liver damage from the slow release type. Immediate release is also removed from the body faster, than slow release.

A baby aspirin 81mg is not typically enough to block a niacin flush. Typically a 325 is used (and not enteric coated).

Not everyone responds to non-flush niacin with lowering of cholesterol. You'll have to be tested to see
if you do.
