contents The integer convex hull $I(H_N)$ of the set $H_N=\{(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2: xy\ge N\}$ is the convex hull of the lattice points in $H_N$. The vertices of $I(H_N)$ lie in the square $[1,N]^2$. Improving on a recent result of Alcántara et al. ~\cite{Santos} we show that the number of vertices of $I(H_N)$ is of order $N^{1/3}\log N$. We also show that the area of the part of $H_N \setminus I(H_N)$ that lies in the square $[1,N^{2/3}]^2$ is also of order $N^{1/3}\log N$.
