No Flush Niacin
Inositol hexanicotinate, also known as inositol niacinate, is a flush-free
form of niacin. Studies have reported significant lipid-lowering effects
of non-flushing niacin. Researchers found non-flushing niacin to be
more effective than niacin in its cholesterol lowering, blood pressure lowering and lipotropic
effects. This form of niacin is slowly metabolized in the body and releases niacin over a period of
time without the characteristic flush that may occur when large doses of niacin are administrated.
Inositol hexanicotinate has been used to lower cholesterol and also to improve blood flow in the
treatment of intermittent claudication (a painful cramp in calve muscles produced by a decreased
oxygen supply to the muscles). Some studies show that compared to niacin, inositol hexanicotinate
is safer and better tolerated.
A randomized, controlled comparison of the cholesterol lowering statin drug lovastatin
(Mevacor®) found that niacin lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) to a similar degree (23% (niacin) vs
32% (statin)), while elevating HDL considerably more (33% vs 6%). Niacin also lowers lipoprotein
(a) (Lp[a]) by an astounding 35% while lovastatin therapy has no effect.
Non-flushing Niacin Lowers fibrinogen
Niacin lowers fibrinogen. Fibrinogen, a protein produced in the liver, is a necessary part of the normal
blood clotting process. But when fibrinogen levels get too high – as can happen in conditions of
inflammation – fibrinogen can increase your odds of forming dangerous blood clots, which can plug
off a blood vessel leading into your heart, triggering a heart attack. Fibrinogen also causes smooth
muscle cells to multiply, which can promote atherosclerosis. People whose fibrinogen levels are high
have roughly double the risk of heart disease of people of those that are low. |
