Product performance

Inositol, also known as cyclohexanol, is one of the B vitamins. In nature, it exists in all biological tissues in free or combined form, and is a common component in animal and plant cells. It can be synthesized by microorganisms in the digestive tract and participate in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the body. Inositol mainly exists in the form of phosphatidylinositol in animals, and is most abundant in brain marrow, cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. It mainly exists in the form of phosphoinositide in plants, and can combine with calcium, zinc, iron, etc. to form insoluble compounds, which interfere with its digestion and absorption. When animals lack inositol in their diet, hair loss occurs, which affects development. Inositol is related to intracellular calcium metabolism, and its triphosphate derivatives can be released from lipid conjugates after cells are stimulated to act as second messengers, which can mobilize intracellular calcium ions and regulate many cellular activities, such as Secretion, metabolism, phototransduction and cell division, etc.
