You didn't mention what "PAD" was and I had to go search for it.
For peripheral arterial disease like intermittent claudication, 20 grams
of vitamin C daily would he quite a heavy and difficult regimen to follow,
and is more of an indirect preventative protocol.
Tocopheryl nicotinate would be a far better therapeutic option.. Can't find it
in India's CIMS, but brand names are "Hijuven" and "Juvela-N" by Eisai.

Otherwise, try "Renascin" by Mack, now part of Pfizer.
You could try this Taiwanese online drug order firm. You can't get it as a
supplement - tocopheryl nicotinate is a synthetic ester of vitamin E and niacin.

If you are looking to treat or prevent cancer, then go for tocopherol succinate.

I can't think of any other nutrient at this moderate dosage, nor any current drug,
which can knock down Lp(a), other than perhaps Matthias Rath's protocol of
high dose C, proline and lysine.
