Food Grade Crystalline Vitamin B8 Inositol Powder

【Product performance】: 

Inositol is a white, finely crystalline or powdery substance. It is odorless and has a sweet taste. Stable in air, it is resistant to heat, strong acids, and alkalis. It is sparingly soluble in ethanol and insoluble in ether and chloroform.

It is one of the B vitamins. The cyclohexanol has 9 stereoisomers, of which only the myoinositol has physiological activity. It is a type of phospholipid, widely distributed in cells as a component in the form of phosphatidylinositol. In plants, it exists in the form of inositol hexaphosphate calcium magnesium phosphate ester. It is mainly used as a nutritional supplement.

As a nutritional supplement used in food additives, inositol serves several purposes:

Maintaining Healthy Metabolism: Inositol is one of the B-complex vitamins and plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and normal metabolism. It participates in cellular signal transduction, lipid metabolism, and neurotransmission, contributing to the normal functioning of various physiological processes in the body.

Promoting Neurological Health: Inositol is essential for the proper functioning and communication of nerve cells within the nervous system. Therefore, as a nutritional supplement added to food, inositol may help improve neurological function, and alleviate symptoms of neurasthenia, anxiety, and stress.

Regulating Blood Glucose Levels: Studies suggest that inositol may contribute to the regulation of blood glucose levels, offering assistance in blood sugar management for individuals with diabetes. It enhances cellular insulin sensitivity and promotes glucose metabolism, thus aiding in the maintenance of stable blood sugar levels.

Improving Lipid Metabolism: Inositol can influence lipid metabolism processes, helping to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Therefore, incorporating inositol into food additives may improve lipid profiles and support cardiovascular health.

Cellular Structure Protection: Inositol is an essential component of cell membranes, contributing to the integrity and stability of cells. Adequate intake of inositol can help protect cells from oxidative damage and other harmful factors.
