Inositol - Vitamin B8

A part of the vitamin B-complex family of vitamins, inositol (found in meats, citrus fruits, nuts, beans, and whole grains) is an important component of cell membranes and is necessary for proper nerve, brain, and muscle function. Inositol is also essential in the communication that occurs between the body's cells. Benefits of inositol may include enhanced mood, help with hair growth, nerve function support, weight loss assistance and healthy cholesterol maintenance. Although deficiency is uncommon, heavy consumption of caffeine, or the use of some antibiotics, may cause a shortage of inositol in the body. Inositol supplements are available in a variety of doses. Inositol vitamins at a dose of 500 mg daily are typically recommended for therapeutic benefits.
