So, what is inositol?
Inositol is a naturally occurring carbohydrate that belongs to the vitamin B complex family. It plays an essential role in the human body, particularly in the formation of cell membranes and the proper functioning of neurotransmitters. Inositol also aids in the breakdown of fats and cholesterol and helps regulate blood sugar levels. This versatile nutrient is found in many foods, such as citrus fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains. In supplement form, inositol has been shown to have potential benefits for mental health, particularly in the treatment of anxiety and depression.
