Vitamins - Inositol

 

 
Description

This water soluble nutrient is an unofficial member of the B-complex vitamins. As with choline, inositol exerts a lipotropic effect and helps prevent excess fat accumulation in the liver and heart. It helps prevent hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis).

Inositol helps form lecithin (a fat emulsifier), for metabolizing fats and reducing cholesterol. This nutrient also nourishes brain cells and promotes hair growth. It aids in the prevention of skin disorders, such as eczema, and helps produce a calming effect.
