Inositol
Inositol is a form of sugar found in your body, in some foods and as a supplement. Your body needs inositol for the development and growth of cells. But research suggests that inositol may have many potential health benefits. People use it for metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), among other health conditions
What is inositol?
Inositol is a form of sugar your body naturally produces to provide structure to your cells. It can also be found in certain foods, including meat, fruits, corn, beans, grains and legumes. The typical American diet contains 1 gram of inositol a day. But research suggests that taking an inositol supplement may have many health benefits.
Inositol is frequently called vitamin B8, but it’s not really a vitamin. However, research has shown it may provide many important functions. In addition to playing a role in the development of your cell membranes, inositol may also have an effect on insulin and certain chemical messengers in your brain. This may influence your body’s ability to manage metabolic and mental health conditions.
As a supplement, inositol is commonly known as:
- Myo-inositol.
- D-chiro-inositol.
- Inositol hexaphosphate.
What are the benefits of inositol?
Your body needs inositol for the functioning and development of your cells. While research is still ongoing, people also use inositol for many different health reasons.
Inositol benefits may include:
- Lowering your risk for metabolic syndrome.
- Helping relieve the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Reducing your risk of gestational diabetes and preterm birth.
- Lowering high cholesterol.
- Helping your body better process insulin.
- Potentially relieving the symptoms of depression and other mood disorders.
Uses & Effectiveness
Possibly Effective for
- A grouping of symptoms that increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke (metabolic syndrome). Taking inositol by mouth, with or without alpha-lipoic acid, seems to improve insulin resistance, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure in people with metabolic syndrome.
- A hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with cysts (polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS). Taking inositol by mouth seems to lower triglyceride levels, decrease blood pressure, and improve blood sugar, ovulation, and pregnancy rates in people with PCOS.
- Preterm birth. Taking inositol with folic acid by mouth during pregnancy seems to lower the risk of preterm birth in those who have a higher chance of developing diabetes during pregnancy.
Possibly Ineffective for
- A sudden and serious lung condition (acute respiratory distress syndrome or ARDS). Giving myo-inositol by IV to premature babies with ARDS doesn't seem to help. In fact, it might be harmful. IV products can only be given by a healthcare provider.
- Anxiety. Taking inositol by mouth doesn't seem to improve symptoms of anxiety.
- Depression. Taking inositol by mouth doesn't improve symptoms of depression.
- Nerve pain in people with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy). Taking inositol by mouth doesn't seem to improve the symptoms of nerve pain caused by diabetes.
- An eye disorder in premature infants that can lead to blindness (retinopathy of prematurity). Giving myo-inositol by IV or by mouth to premature babies doesn't seem to lower the chance of developing retinopathy. In fact, it might increase the risk of death. IV products can only be given by a healthcare provider.
There is interest in using inositol for a number of other purposes, but there isn't enough reliable information to say whether it might be helpful.

A note from Ruitai Biotech
Inositol is a form of sugar your body needs for the growth and development of your cells. But research suggests that taking inositol as a supplement may have many additional health benefits. While more research is needed, inositol may help in the treatment of many different metabolic and mental health conditions. The supplement seems to be safe and produces very mild side effects if taken at low doses. Always discuss your use of any vitamins and supplements with your healthcare provider.
