Brief introduction
Inositol, also known as cyclohexane hexol or vitamin B8, is a naturally occurring carbohydrate and important vitamin-like substance in plants and animals. It is widely found in grains, nuts, fruits (especially lemons and citrus fruits), beans, and animal offal. The main active ingredient of inositol is phosphatidylinositol, a phospholipid that plays an important role in cell signaling.
Inositol participates in a variety of physiological functions in the human body, including promoting fat metabolism, improving insulin sensitivity, regulating mood and neurotransmission. Studies have shown that inositol has a certain effect on improving polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), anxiety and depression, and helps restore nerve function and improve sleep quality. Due to its multiple health benefits, inositol has received more and more attention as a dietary supplement.
