Myo-Inositol For Cognitive Health – The Forgotten Vitamin B8 Complex
Our Inositol powder is the vegan form Myo-Inositol derived from corn, unlike the cheaper chemically synthesised forms.
Myo-inositol is found naturally in plants such as
-
citrus fruits,
-
beans,
-
grains and
-
nuts.
which should comfort you to know that this is a very safe health supplement.
It was once considered to be a B vitamin called B8, which may have been due to the positive effects it has on people’s state of mind with certain conditions.
These days it is just considered a supplement for
-
women’s health,
-
metabolic health and
-
cognitive health
that may help you feel more in control, energised and confident every day.
Most concentrations of Myo-Inositol are found in the brain and heart. The body converts Myo-Inositol into other forms of Inositol such as D-Chiro Inositol.
It is synthesised in the liver where it may help to reduce fat absorption & reduce the risk of damage from steatohepatitis or fatty liver disease.
