Description

Inositol Hexanicotinate is a hexanicotinic acid ester of meso-inositol, functioning as a source of niacin (vitamin B3). This compound is valued for its role as a sustained-release form of niacin, offering a favorable tolerability profile compared to nicotinic acid. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals targeting cardiovascular and metabolic health. Global industries involved in human nutrition and pharmaceutical intermediates are key procurers of this material.

Application

• Dietary Supplement Formulation: Used as a key active ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders designed to support healthy cholesterol metabolism and circulatory function.
• Nutraceutical Production: Incorporated into specialized nutritional products aimed at promoting cardiovascular wellness and energy metabolism.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a precursor or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the development of controlled-release niacin therapies.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Applied in the enrichment of health-focused food and drink products where a non-flushing niacin source is required.
• Cosmeceutical Ingredients: Utilized in topical formulations for skin care products targeting barrier function and anti-aging benefits associated with niacinamide.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical and nutritional studies investigating the effects of sustained-release niacin on various metabolic pathways.

Quality Control

Our Inositol Hexanicotinate is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents. We adhere to cGMP guidelines and can support compliance with relevant pharmacopoeial standards (e.g., USP, EP) upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
