Myo-Inositol
The most important form of inositol, a cyclic sugar alcohol isolated in 1850 by Johann Joseph Scherer: it is part of membrane phospholipids and of cell messengers such as IP3, and in plants it forms phytic acid, the phosphorus store of seeds. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.
Did you know?The prefix myo- means muscle, because it was isolated from muscle extracts. It was once called vitamin B8, but the body can make it, so it is not a true vitamin.
