Can anyone comment on the use of niacin to lower LDL and raise HDL?

I absolutely cannot agree with this. LDL levels from quest are very stable if no major changes in health or diet. I am talking about fasting LDL.
Well then, keep on testing with a lab of your choice. In a few years you'll be convinced too.
Actually compared in 2014 fasting lipids with postprandials few hours later, and was surprised how little it differed:
2014 fasting postpr. % TC 148 163 10 HDL 38 41 8 TC/HDL 3,9 4,0 2 nonHDL 110 122 11 LDL 87 96 10 VLDL 22 27 20 TG 112 133 18 BG 100 124 24 TG/HDL 2,9 3,2 11 LDL/HDL 2,3 2,3 1 TC/HDL 3,9 4,0 2
Maybe confounded by my lowest TC and LDL since testing for 10 years.

This is my LDL history from beginning of 2018 till the end of 2008 going backwards. Only massive dietary change was beginning of 2010 with 91 mg/dl, going low carb and high fat, along with reaching 3 g/d of niacin. Each January since 2012 going to high-carbing India for 6 weeks didn't show a pattern with LDL (though inflammation marker always higher, while liver and kidney markers always lower). Also remarkable that the highest of 181 mg/dl (beside 196 at the very beginning together with the PAD diagnosis) in 2015 proceeded remission from my walking-disability. 24 times tested fasted LDL within 10 years altogether:
LDL direct mg/dl 109 143 103 129 133 153 136 181 157 87 115 142 142 150 129 162 105 102 140 142 91 180 175 196

2) Reduced levels of methyl donors and an increased levels of histamine and serotonin
for 1) you can take niacin bound chromium, or change your diet and eat less carbs and doing more exercise. for 2) you can take TMG/Betaine.
This is a really good point that should be understood by all who are supplementing NR, NMN and Nam. Thorne's Nicotinamide Riboside has equimolar amounts of methyl donors (Betaine).
