Default Niacin for growth?

I've been taking L-arginine & L-lysine for increased blood flow, but what are the effects of adding Niacin to my supplementation?

Does Niacin aid blood flow?

What would be an appropriate dosage? (if applicable)



P.S. There doesn't seem to be much information about Niacin in the forums.

A small, safe dose of niacin will give you a slight flushing effect. Be careful when experimenting- different brands will have different potencies.

High doses of niacin can cause nasty side effects like arrhythmias, facial flushing (in splotches), and rashes.

peanut butter is loaded with lysine and arginine.

I figure that i am taking enough niacin.

My multivitamin has 20mg, 100% of daily value, and i'm sure that's enough. I don't want to be the guy with flushed skin all the time!

Although, my nightly routine is 3g arginine and 1g lysine, i'll need to start eating peanut butter more often.
