    Hello, If you are not feeling any flush from the niacin, I would stop for 10 days, and re-introduce with 500mg and work your way up. Try being on empty stomach and or with warm water when consuming niacin. As for blood work; get the followings; RBC Potassium, RBC Magnesium, Fibrinogen, HbA1c, ESR, HS-CRP, Homocysteine, Free T3, Reverse T3, Cholesterol Lipid Panel, MPO or LpPLA2, OxLDL, ADMA/SDMA, ACR, BUN
