Thanks cavatina, niacin is included in my daily Boots' Multi vitamens and Iron tablet.

salymap, please note the point made in the first item in the discussion linked to, that the niacin found in multivitamin tablets might not do the job as well as the 100mg niacin tablets.

On my multi vit tablet it states that 16 mg a day of niacin is the maximum dose. Still, I'll ask at health shop thanks. They know more of such things than my doc. I'm afraid.

I'm sure you are right re. your GP, they have such a broad range of ailments to cover. The maximum daily dose I have seen quoted is 6g! I bet that would bring on quite a flush in many people.
