Myo-Inositol – 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,
- diabetic 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.
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.

I am totally satisfied with the product, the value for money is the best on the market. I started taking inositol because of acne-related to PCOS, after one week of inositol it disappeared and has been controlled since I consumed the product. Every time I have a question or enquire, owners answer quickly and efficiently, so service is also great!
