Description

Inositol Nicotinate is a stable, hexanicotinate ester of meso-inositol, also known as inositol hexanicotinate. This compound serves as a source of niacin (vitamin B3) and inositol, offering a sustained-release profile with reduced flushing side effects compared to nicotinic acid. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals targeting cardiovascular and metabolic health. Global manufacturers and supplement brands rely on it for its favorable tolerability and well-documented bioavailability.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders designed to support healthy cholesterol levels, circulation, and overall metabolic function.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of advanced drug formulations requiring a controlled-release niacin source.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into health-focused food and drink products to enhance their nutritional profile with essential B vitamins.
• Cosmeceutical Preparations: Found in topical formulations aimed at improving skin barrier function and microcirculation due to its vasodilatory properties.
• Veterinary Nutrition: Used in animal feed supplements to support livestock and pet health, ensuring adequate niacin and inositol intake.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or test compound in biochemical and nutritional studies within academic and industrial laboratories.
