Inositol Hexaniacinate (also known as inositol hexanicotinate) is a newer form of vitamin B3 (niacin), which does not cause flushing (niacin flushing). It is involved in the transportation of fats through the body and helps to supply energy to the cells. It also increases serotinin activity which can help to improve mood and reduce signs of stress and sleep orders. Niacin ensures the efficient functioning of over 50 enzymes, as well as the synthesizing of fats from carbohydrates. Deficiencies of niacin are rare in developed countries as it can be derived from L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid. However, there are some circumstances where taking a niacin supplement may be beneficial to your health. It is integral to normalizing blood lipid levels by removing LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as increasing levels of HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol in the bloodstream. Niacin functions in the body as a component in the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which are involved in numerous chemical reactions in the body. These reactions are essential in the production of energy, for regulating blood sugar levels, for blood lipid levels and for the manufacture of sex and adrenal hormones. Niacin is also involved with antioxidant and detoxification pathways.
