» What is Inositol?

Inositol is a vitamin-like substance found in many plants and animals. It can also be synthesised in a laboratory.

Inositol functions as the basis for a number of signalling and secondary messenger molecules. They are involved in a number of biological processes including:

  • Insulin signal transduction
  • Cytoskeleton assembly
  • Nerve guidance
  • Intracellular calcium concentration control
  • Cell membrane potential maintenance
  • Breakdown of fats
  • Gene expression

Inositol has a number of possible clinical applications, most of them linked to mental issues.

Interesting fact: Inositol powder is the favoured stand-in for cocaine on television and film.
