Want to virtually eliminate all chances of ever having a heart attack? The secret concerns a B vitamin called Niacin. When Niacin is taken with a statin the combination reduces heart attack risk by 90% according to a University of Washington study. Medical research has never been more supportive of this treatment yet very few people know about it, and many primary care Doctors don't prescribe it.
A few of the impressive benefits include:
*It raises good cholesterol and lowers triglycerides.
*It enlarges the smallest, densest, most dangerous particles so they are less likely to damage arteries.
*Brings down harmful levels of a blood component called lipoprotein(a), which is resistant to the benefits of stations, diet, and exercise.

But here's the catch: You can't get enough of this vitamin naturally in your diet to achieve the results. To achieve results your body needs 500 to 2,000 mg. and at this dosage many patients experience flushing, skin reddens, warms, and sometimes itches. Although this side effect subsides within an hour, the experience can be unpleasant. That is why Doctors hesitate to prescribe niacin.

These symptoms can be minimized is niacin is taken with aspirin, antihistamines, or a meal. In fact flushing is a positive sign that blood vessels are dilating in response to niacin, and patients who flush ultimately raise their HDLs and lower their LDLs more than those that don't flush.
