You may want to try a product called Endur-Acin, made by Endurance

1000 tablets, $70.00. The 500 mg size never gave me a flush.
Yes, niacin can cause a liver problem. My doctor said that up to 1000
mg/day would probably not be a problem for me, but anything over that,
I should have regular blood tests for liver function. Also, the
cholesterol lowering effect starts to take place around the 1000
mg/day and above. There is a disclaimer on their site that "Niacin
therapy should always be physician supervised."
This may be a good alternative to statins for you.
