Ingredients explained
Niacin (Vitamin B-3)
Niacin functions as a precursor to NAD and NADP coenzymes, which are central to energy metabolism and cellular redox reactions.
Caution: High doses may cause flushing or digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals, and those with liver concerns or gout should consult a healthcare professional due to potential effects on liver enzymes and uric acid.
Inositol
Inositol acts as a component of cell membranes and signaling pathways that influence neurotransmission and metabolic processes.
Caution: May affect blood sugar regulation in some people, so those monitoring glucose should pay attention to how they feel.
How they work together
Inositol hexanicotinate slowly releases niacin and inositol, providing niacin activity with reduced likelihood of flushing. Niacin supports cellular energy through NAD/NADP, while inositol contributes to membrane signaling, offering complementary roles in metabolic function.

Niacin (Vitamin B-3) is an essential B-Complex vitamin. Flush-Free Niacin contains Inositol Hexanicotinate, a form of Niacin that consists of six molecules of niacin linked to a single inositol molecule. It is slowly broken down in the body to yield free niacin and inositol. This gradual release of Niacin allows for true Niacin activity without the characteristic niacin flush that many people cannot tolerate.
Inositol hexanicotinate is a stable, non-flushing source of niacin. This superior source of niacin works to reduce the common "niacin-flush" problems associated with high doses of niacin supplements.
