Inositol

Inositol is a naturally occurring carbohydrate found in various foods and produced by the body. It plays a crucial role in cellular signaling and is often linked to mental health, particularly in conditions like anxiety and depression. Additionally, inositol has been studied for its potential benefits in insulin sensitivity and reproductive health, making it an intriguing compound in both nutrition and medicine.

Inositol is a water-soluble member of the B vitamin complex, naturally found in foods such as cantaloupe, citrus fruits, corn, rice, and beans. It’s also classified as a sugar alcohol, offering about 48% of the sweetness of regular sugar and sharing a similar flavor profile.

1. Infant formulas: Breast milk is naturally rich in inositol, leading manufacturers of infant formulas to consider adding this nutrient to their products. Inositol can promote healthy metabolism and aid in better sleep for babies. Additionally, it has been shown to improve hair growth. For optimal formulation, an average of 22 mg per 100 kcal is recommended, reflecting the typical amount found in breast milk.
2. Energy drink: Many popular energy drinks contain inositol because it supports the nervous system and helps maintain cell structure. Additionally, inositol plays a role in modulating serotonin levels, a key hormone that stabilizes mood and enhances feelings of happiness.
