A member asked:
Is 500mg daily of inositol hexanicotinate dangerous?i took it for four years but stopped after reading it was ineffective for lipid levels.?

Not Dangerous: While 500 mg per day of inositol hexanicotinate is not dangerous, you are correct that inositol does not improve lipids and should not be used.
