How much Niacin Should A 100 Pound Teenager Take a Day?

Question

My 16 Year Old Sister is going to start taking Niacin. How much should she take (100 lbs), and how much is too much?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Unless you want to feel a strong burn and itch, I suggest about 50mg to start and build up to 125...why are you taking it???

At your weight I can think of no reason unless you are 3 feet tall and have a very high cholesterol level. (or super bad skin)
