Inositol hexanicotinate (IHN), a form of niacin (vitamin B3), is a white crystalline powder known as a dietary supplement for its potential vascular health benefits without causing the flushing effect associated with regular niacin. As a complex ester of niacin and inositol, with six niacin molecules esterified to each inositol molecule, IHN is water-soluble, facilitating its absorption in the digestive tract.
inositol hexanicotinate vs niacin
IHN’s slow metabolism and gradual niacin release into the bloodstream prevent the sudden niacin surge that causes vasodilation and flushing, making it a better alternative to standard niacin supplements for those seeking cardiovascular benefits without discomfort.
Inositol Nicotinate Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of Inositol Hexanicotinate starts with mixing high-purity inositol and niacin, followed by esterification using an acid catalyst under heated conditions. The reaction is monitored with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). After completion, the mixture cools, and IHN is isolated through extraction, precipitation, and filtration. The product is then purified, dried, milled for uniform particle size, and sieved. Finally, after quality control checks, Inositol Nicotinate powder is packaged in an inert atmosphere to maintain purity and stability.
Inositol Hexanicotinate Bulk Package
Inositol Hexanicotinate bulk powder is packaged in 25 kg drums, each lined with a fiber can and a polyethylene bag. The drums are securely sealed with a lead-lined lid and an iron ring. Store the ingredients in a tightly sealed container away from light for optimal preservation.
