Slo-Niacin
"My doctor wanted me to take statins with 225 cholesterol.  I didn't want to (63 yrs old).  She then suggested 500 mg of Slo-Niacin twice a day with a baby aspirin.  I started it but in a few days I was terribly constipated.  I backed off to once a day which helped.  Then I started taking potassium iodine (kelp) and the constipation problem is completely solved - better than ever as I've always been constipated - probably slow thyroid.  Anyway, when I was taking the two Slo-Niacins a day, I felt 20 years younger.  Going up a flight of stairs felt like walking on a flat surface.  Now one a day so I only feel 10 years younger.  I went on a hike yesterday where I walked on a steep path for 45 min and it was like flat again.  "
