Role in reducing CVD According to Dr Brewer:

One study said it didn’t help: Relationship of lipoproteins to cardiovascular events: the AIM-HIGH Trial (Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome With Low HDL/High Triglycerides and Impact on Global Health Outcomes)
Nethertheless, it is believed that Niacin:
- Improves Lp(a)
- Improves HDL
- Improves Triglycerides
- Improves LDL
DrFB Recommends starting at 250 mg/day and up to 2 g/day
- 250 mg has reduced Lp(a) from 150 to 25 in some patients

The caffeine issue

My reasoning was that the coffee was interfering with the way my body actually wanted to function. What I initially regarded as a feature started to feel like a liability! If my body wants to tell me it’s tired and maybe hasn’t slept enough, or eaten right, or needs time to repair… is it really a good idea to push it to 120%? … Daily?
