Flush Free Niacin, what is the effect and how does it work?

I am trying to lower my cholesterol level so started taking flush free niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) 250mg three times a day. I will increase this dosage 2 weeks later to 1000 or 1250mg per day. Also, I am taking Vitamin B complex containing 400mg folic acid. In addition, I am taking other supplements (fish oil, garlic, vitamin c and e). Would threre be any complication by adding such large does of non fush niacin to my existing supplements?

Also, I am exercising regularily four times a week, running 25 - 35 mins three times and resistance training (weight lifting) three times a week. In a website, I found that non flush form of Niacin shouldn't be used during training as large doses of nicotinic acid (50 - 100 mg) significantly impairs the body's ability to mobilize and burn fat. IS THIS TRUE? What would be the effect of using it when I am exercising as said above?

Inositol Hexanicotinate doesn't have the benefits that nicotinic acid (regular niacin) has for humans, so you are spending money for nothing.
