Overview
•This provides a very high niacin dose, so adults should use it as directed and avoid combining it with other high-dose niacin products unless supervised.
•Flush-free inositol hexanicotinate is generally better tolerated than nicotinic acid, but digestive upset, headache, dizziness, or occasional flushing can still occur.
•Consult a clinician before use if you have liver disease, stomach ulcers, diabetes, gout, low blood pressure, or heavy alcohol intake, as high-dose niacin forms may worsen these issues in susceptible people.
•Potential medication concerns include statins, blood-pressure drugs, diabetes medicines, anticoagulants/antiplatelets, and other hepatotoxic medicines or supplements.
•Pregnant or nursing users should only use this with medical guidance because the dose greatly exceeds standard daily niacin requirements.
•The label states it is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, or sesame ingredients, but it is produced in a facility that processes some allergens.
