Inositol, also known as myo-inositol, is a carbocyclic sugar alcohol that is naturally present in the human body. The name "inositol" is derived from the inactive muscle sugar, inosite, which was discovered in muscle tissue in the 19th century. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell membrane formation, signal transduction, and nerve function.
General Information about Inositol
Inositol is classified as a member of the B-complex family of vitamins, although it is not a true vitamin since the body synthesises it and it is not essential in the diet. It is found in high concentrations in the brain and other body tissues, contributing to overall health and well-being. Inositol is commonly used in healthcare and wellness products due to its positive effects on mental health, stress management, and skin and hair health.
