  • Use of inositol powder can be a good way to correct inositol deficiency that can sometimes be caused by excessive caffeine or alcohol. Unhealthy lifestyle involving high caffeine and alcohol depletes the body’s natural inositol levels. Low levels of inositol has been linked to vision problems, fatty liver, hair loss, memory loss, high levels of bad cholesterol, atherosclerosis, eczema, and constipation.
  • Inositol may have the potential to regulate mood in people suffering from depression. Healthy levels of Vitamin B8 directly affect the levels of mood-regulating neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. Depression can occur when there is low serotonin and dopamine because these two chemicals are responsible for efficient communication between brain cells. Incorporating inositol supplements in the diet may promote a healthy mood and positive outlook to combat depression.
  • Inositol powder possesses natural fat-emulsifying effects. It works as a lipotropic agent, a substance that breaks down cholesterol and fat for more efficient metabolism. In effect, inositol may help prevent the fat build up in the body for effective weight loss and healthy physique. This is specifically important for the liver since build-up of fats can lead to fatty liver disease and liver failure. When used with choline, inositol can even aid in the removal of toxins and other impurities in the liver.
  • Inositol is an active ingredient in energy drinks such as red bull. Because its primary function is to convert nutrients to energy in the brain, Vitamin B8 is believed to improve the communication between transmitters in the brain leading to enhanced cognitive functions.


Inostiol is a carbocyclic polyol, a naturally occurring carbohydrate in the body used for the production of energy and emulsification of fats. It is also present in certain fruits and vegetables such as oranges, nuts, beans, bran, melons, and red kidney beans. Eating these foods at their rawest form is the best way to get their highest concentration of inositol. The reason being that processing and cooking can diminish or destroy the nutrient content in these foods.  At one point, inositol was also known as Vitamin B8. Scientists stopped referring to it as a true vitamin after they found that the body can actually synthesize it. High amounts can be found in the brain, heart, and eyes, as it is also responsible for helping to keep these organs healthy. A lifestyle that consumes a lot of caffeine and alcohol leads to depleted levels of Vitamin B8 and may benefit with supplementation. Inositol powder may be an ideal option to replenishing the lost inositol.
