If you're getting the tingles and burning/flushing skin, you're taking
too much. I think the RDA is 50mg. The GNC stores sell 250mg and 500mg
tablets. That's overdosage!

If you take niacin right after eating, those side effects won't be so
severe.

The only warning I read is that too much (how much?) niacin could cause
liver shutdown.

Don't take my word for it, google search.
