Description
INOSITOL PURE SOLUBLE POWDER
Inositol is a small carbohydrate molecule that occurs naturally in many
foods, especially in meat, fish, fowl and milk; human breast milk typically
contains high concentrations of inositol. A phosphorylated form called
phytate is in cereal grains, but that form is poorly absorbed. Some forms
of inositol are also present in nuts, fruits and vegetables. Once thought
to be a vitamin, inositol now is understood to be involved in certain
chemical signaling processes that serve to transmit messages inside
cells. It also is considered to be a lipotropic agent, one that
interacts with the metabolism of fats and helps to prevent
inappropriate deposition of fat in organs such as the liver.
Pure Inositol is also known as myoinositol or unphosphorylated inositol.
Inside cells, myoinositol can be phosphorylated to make phosphatidylinositol.
This phosphorylated form can act as a messenger inside the cell.
While inositol has been used as an ingredient in multivitamin formulations
for decades, its internal cell activities are still being researched.
When our body tissues are finished with inositol, some of it is changed into glucuronate.
Glucuronate is one of the body's principal detoxifiers. Many foreign chemicals and some
cellular waste substances are combined with glucuronate. This makes them more water
soluble and more easily excreted. So, inositol does double duty in our bodies. First,
it helps cells respond to external conditions; later, it supports detoxification of our
tissues.
Kirkman’s Inositol is pure and contains no other ingredients.
