What is Inositol?

Inositol was previously classified as vitamin B8, but it’s not actually a vitamin, but a category often called pseudovitamins. Pseudovitamins play an important role in bodily functions, but do not necessarily cause health disorders when their levels deplete.

It’s naturally found in cantaloupe, citrus fruit, and many fiber-rich foods (such as beans, brown rice, corn, sesame seeds, and wheat bran).

Inositol plays a role in many bodily processes. As a result, it has been studied widely for its benefits.

What Are The Benefits Of Inositol?

Studies show inositol may offer benefits for

• Mood and anxiety disorders – it affects neurotransmitters such as serotonin, and may help reduce panic disorders (1, 2). It may also treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) given its effect on serotonin and dopamine levels.
• Control of blood sugar – Studies show that inositol can improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin (3, 4), including women with PCOS (5,6).
• May improve fertility in women with PCOS – studies show inositol improves ovary function in women with PCOS (7, 8). It helps improve rates of ovulation and pregnancy in these women (9, 10).
