Positive Side Effects
If a person takes niacin to normalize blood lipids and as a result of the vitamin activity feels very much better in other areas such as more energy, faster healing, etc, this is a positive side effect. There are other positive side effects that often occur. For example if the person takes niacin to deal with his arthritis and at the same time his cholesterol levels decease, this result would be a major positive side effect or, better still, side benefit. Niacin lowers C-reactive protein. This is one of the markers of inflammation. The statins also lower CRP, but in contrast to the statins, niacin is not toxic.
