Inositol, also known as myo-inositol or simply inositol, is a water-soluble vitamin belonging to the B-complex group. It is a naturally occurring compound found in many foods, including fruits, beans, grains, and nuts. Inositol is structurally similar to glucose and plays an important role in various biological processes, such as cell signaling, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. It is often used as a supplement to treat conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and depression, though its efficacy for these purposes is still under investigation.
Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder.

Application
Inositol, or myo-inositol, has diverse applications in various fields. In medicine, it is studied for its potential to improve conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), depression, anxiety, and metabolic syndrome. In nutrition, inositol is considered a beneficial nutrient that helps balance important chemicals in the brain and supports the normal development of multiple organs. In agriculture, inositol is used to enhance crop yield and quality by regulating ion channels and membrane permeability, which improves plant tolerance and reduces absorption of environmental pollutants. Additionally, inositol is also used as a food additive in infant formulas due to its low content in milk.
