Product Details
Vitamin B3 in the form of inositol hexanicotinate is flush free and water-soluble. B vitamins are necessary for many aspects of health, growth, and reproduction. They are all part of the vitamin B complex and are involved in the oxidative release of energy from food, protect the skin and help improve circulation. It is the pellagra-preventing factor of vitamin B.
Vitamin B3 is one of the most stable of the B vitamins. It is resistant to the effects of heat, light, air, acid, and alkali. It is a white crystalline substance that is soluble in both water and alcohol. Small amounts may be stored in the liver, but most of the excess is excreted in the urine.
Inositol hexanicotinate consists of six molecules of niacin surrounding a molecule of inositol. This inositol-bound form of niacin is slowly metabolized in the body and releases niacin over a period of time without the characteristic flush that may occur when large doses of niacin are administered.
Another important fact about vitamin B3 is that it can be manufactured from the amino acid tryptophan, which is essential (needed in the diet). So niacin is not truly essential in the diet when enough protein, containing adequate amounts of tryptophan, and other nutrients are consumed. When niacin is not present in sufficient amounts, extra protein is needed. Also, when we are deficient in such nutrients as vitamins B1, B2, and B6, vitamin C, and iron, we cannot easily convert tryptophan to niacin.
Vitamin B3 is known to: aid in promoting a healthy digestive system; be important for the health of the skin; increase circulation and help reduce blood pressure; lower cholesterol and triglycerides; promote relaxation; facilitate orgasms; act as a mild growth hormone releaser.
