Inositol is one of the vitamin B-- a water soluble vitamin,it is also called vitamin B group. Inositol and choline are also known as six alcohol, it is white crystalline powder. There are nine kinds of stereoisomers, the racemic can promote cell metabolism, contribute to development, increase appetite, it also can cure the fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, arteriosclerosis, embolism and so on.
Inositol, widely distributed in animals and plants, it is impotant factor for animals and microorganisms. It was first isolated from the myocardium and liver. Foods rich in inositol: animal liver, beer yeast, lima beans, cow brain and heart, American melon, grapefruit, raisins, malt, unrefined molasses, peanuts, cabbage, whole grains. Inositol deficiency: eczema, with hair easily turning white. Mainly used in the fields of food and feed.
Function:
1. Reduce cholesterol;
2. Promote the growth of healthy hair and prevent hair loss;
3. Prevent eczema;
4. Assist in the redistribution (redistribution) of body fat;
5. It has a sedative effect.
6. Inositol and bilirubin are combined to produce vitellin.
7. Inositol plays an important role in providing nutrition to brain cells.
Inositol is a substance widely found in foods and is similar in structure to glucose. Pure inositol is a stable white crystal that is soluble in water and sweet, resistant to acids, bases, and heat. Inositol is widely distributed in animals and plants and microorganisms. Mainly used as a nutritional supplement. It can treat liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, fatty liver, blood high cholesterol disease.Inositol is one of the B vitamins.

Function:
Inositol is a sugar, also known as a simple carbohydrate, that plays a vital role in the chemical reactions in our body that are associated with the production of glucose. Some research has categorized inositol as a B-vitamin, making it apart of the B-vitamin group along with other vitamins such as vitamin B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, B-9, B-12, choline, and biotin. On the other hand, some studies have shown that inositol being categorized as a member of the Vitamin-B family is not entirely accurate. Inositol has no nitrogen content and as such is considered a non-vital amine. Additionally, our bodies are able to create inositol.
Inositol in animals is part of the phosopholipids. These can be found primarily in the brain in addition to other major systems located in the body. A good source of inositol as a meal would be the heart and liver of an animal, as well as beef brains.
What are the benefits of taking inositol?
Inositol has an effect on nerve transmission, assisting in the transportation of fats with and throughout our bodies. And as mentioned above, it plays a crucial role in the proper development in cell membranes. Isoitol works with the other members of the vitamin-B group including choline and biotin to help minimize the aggregation of fats in the liver. Because of this important attribute, inositol is commonly used to help treat a variety of liver problems.
Inositol is also believed to be able to lower levels of blood cholesterol. And while there is lacking evidence to prove this, it may help reduce symptoms of diabetes, bipolar disorder, anxiety, as well as depression. To help assist with countering depression, inositol is needed for the proper and efficient functioning of serotonin, a brain neurotransmitter that affects moods.
As stated previously, inositol is in every cell membrane. It works as a nutrient and plays a key role in proliferating cells and differentiation, which have an effect on our overall health. Studies that are currently being performed have seen inositol display some anti-cancer properties in their initial results, but more studies are needed.
Application:
The pharmaceutical industry:
Inositol powder can be used to produce inositol tablets, niacin inositol lipids, and triglycerides for the treatment of hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver, and hypercholesterolemia in the blood;
Fluoroinositol is a newly developed product that has anti-cancer, cancer treatment, and efficient immune functions;
Chemically synthesized paclitaxel has poor cancer treatment efficacy; But after modifying it with inositol, the cancer treatment effect is better than that of natural products. Both domestically and internationally, paclitaxel has always been in short supply. This has become a new consumption point for inositol in the pharmaceutical industry today.
Food industry industry:
Inositol is a "bioactive substance" that participates in metabolic activities in the body and has various functions such as immunity, prevention, and treatment of certain diseases. In the fermentation and food industry, it can be used for the cultivation of various bacterial strains and the promotion of yeast growth. If higher animals lack inositol, growth stagnation and hair loss will occur. The daily demand for inositol in the human body is 1-2g, Many health drinks and children's food contain trace amounts of inositol;
Feed industry field:
Inositol should be added to the feed of fish, aquatic animal, rare birds, fur animals, ornamental cats, dogs and other rare animals. Otherwise, inositol deficiency will occur. Adding inositol to feed can promote livestock growth and prevent death.
Other aspects:
By deep processing inositol, it can be made into products such as inositol methyl ether, inositol peptide, inositol organic acid ester, inositol inorganic ester, halogenated inositol, phosphoinositol ester, amino cyclic sugar alcohol, etc. It has great practical value in industries such as medicine, power, transportation, energy, electronics, and chemical industry;
Since the 1990s, it has been found that inositol and carnitine can convert fat into heat energy and consume it. Therefore, weight loss, fat lowering, and health products containing inositol have become popular in Europe and America.
