Inositol hexanicotinate consists of six  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003emolecules of niacin (nicotinic acid) chemically linked to an inositol molecule. It is \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ehydrolyzed in the body to free niacin and inositol, although this occurs slowly, with \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003epeak serum levels not occurring until approximately 10 hours after ingestion.
