 Hi guys I'm Rob Riches and on today's video for supplementsworld.com I'll be taking a look at the ingredient Inositol. For more information on Inositol and many other ingredients be sure to check out more at supplementsworld.com Inositol is a pseudovitamin occurring naturally in both plants and animals. Now pseudovitamin means that it's not an essential vitamin or mineral yet it's still vital in the body. Inositol is a carbohydrate source with a chemical structure similar to glucose and is characterized by a sweet sugary taste. It's used in the structural formation of eukaryotic cells and it's an important component of structural lipids and phosphates. Its primary function is to keep fats from accumulating in the body especially the liver and it's found high levels in the brain and heart working with neurotransmitters to circulate messages. Food sources of Inositol include oranges and cantaloupe. As far as benefits Inositol promotes better sleep quality by maintaining levels of serotonin and communicating with GABA receptors in the brain. It also works as a substitute for GABA when it's depleted helping with the treatment of anxiety symptoms. When combined with choline it can accelerate liver detoxification, increase blood circulation, aid weight loss and work towards treating insulin resistance. Dosages depend on the condition being treated. For anxiety relief 2,000 milligrams taken twice daily is the recommended dose. Add in an extra 1,000 milligrams a week until the max dose of 18,000 milligrams is reached or your anxiety symptoms decrease. For better sleep take half to 2 grams of Inositol two hours before you go to bed and do this daily for up to a month.
