Cautions
• While there are no reports of liver toxicity associated with inositol
hexanicotinate, it is recommended that regular liver enzyme tests be
done in consultation with a physician. Check with your health care
professional immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
darkening of urine; light gray-colored stools; loss of appetite; severe
stomach pain; yellow eyes or skin. Do not take any form of niacin if you
have existing liver disease.
• Likewise, while no trials have reported the following issues with
inositol hexanicotinate, they have been reported in trials with
conventional niacin supplementation and the following cautions must also
apply: • Niacin may exacerbate peptic/duodenal ulcer, gout, or arterial
bleeding. Consult your physician.
• Infrequent side effects of conventional niacin, seen in < 5% of
high-dose users, include unusually fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat;
difficulty urinating or unusually large volume of urine; loss of
appetite; and unexpected weight loss.
• Some people taking niacin experience nasal inflammation, shortness of
breath, or unusual thirst, sweating, tiredness, or weakness.
• Niacin may lower blood pressure. When combined with blood-pressure
lowering drugs, this may lead to postural hypotension (lightheadedness
or dizziness upon standing up suddenly).
• A small number of people have reported blurring or darkening of vision
related to use of conventional niacin, caused by a swelling of the
macula of the eye. These symptoms resolve themselves after one month of
discontinued use.
• It was once believed that niacin would raise blood glucose levels in
diabetics; however, this result was based on chance observations and
short-term studies. Several long-term trials have now shown that niacin
is safe for diabetics.
• Niacin may alter laboratory tests of thyroid hormones; however, the
clinical significance of these changes, are not clear.

DISCUSSION:
Niacin No-Flush is inositol hexanicotinate, a form of the
B vitamin niacin bound to the B-vitamin-like simple polyol inositol. Regular
niacin causes unpleasant side effects such as itchy, burning skin- the
niacin "flush". Standard niacin may also harm the liver. Inositol
hexanicotinate delivers niacin to the bloodstream slowly, eliminating the
niacin "flush," and has not been associated with impaired liver health or
other side effects of conventional or "slow-release" niacin.
