Are you looking for pure inositol without capsules, fillers, or added flavors? This OstroVit bag contains 200 grams of myo-inositol in powder form, and nothing else. Take one heaped scoop of 1 gram daily and dissolve it in a glass of water or juice. The powder tastes slightly sweet, about half as sweet as sugar, so you will barely notice it in your drink.
Inositol used to be called vitamin B8, but that is not entirely accurate. Your body produces it itself, mainly in your kidneys, from glucose. Chemically, it is a sugar alcohol with a ring-shaped structure of six carbon atoms. There are nine variants that differ slightly in their structure. Myo-inositol is by far the most common form in your body and in your diet. You can find it in citrus fruits, beans, whole grains, and nuts, among other foods. An average Western diet provides about one gram per day. In addition, your body produces several grams of it daily. How much you get from your food varies greatly from person to person. Those who eat a lot of oranges, melon, legumes, and whole-wheat bread will have higher levels. Those who mainly eat processed foods will have lower levels. Supplement manufacturers usually extract myo-inositol from corn or rice, where it occurs naturally bound to phytic acid. After purification, a white, crystalline powder remains—exactly what is in this bag.
Many people wonder what inositol actually does. In short: it is a building block of your cell walls and part of the signaling system within your cells. Myo-inositol is found in phospholipids (fatty molecules) in the membrane of every cell. When a hormone or signaling substance approaches the outside of a cell, a piece of one of these phospholipids is cut off. That piece, inositol triphosphate, then transmits the message to the inside of the cell. Scientists call this a second messenger. You can compare it to a doorbell: the hormone presses the button, and inositol ensures that the signal is heard inside. Myo-inositol is found in virtually all tissues in your body.
OstroVit recommends 1 gram per day, one heaped scoop of 1 ml. With powder, you do not need capsules. Another advantage of powder is its purity: no capsule shell, no magnesium stearate, and no fillers. Myo-inositol dissolves quickly in cold water and remains stable in hot drinks such as tea. You can also add it to a smoothie or yogurt.
With 200 grams and a daily serving of 1 gram, one bag will last you well over six months. A simple product: pure myo-inositol powder, with no additives.
The only ingredient on the label is myo-inositol. No capsule shell, no anti-caking agent and no flavorings.
With the powder, you determine how much to take. The included 1 ml measuring spoon holds exactly 1 gram when filled slightly overfull.
With 200 grams and 1 gram per day, you have 200 servings. That is much more economical than the same amount in capsules.
Myo-inositol is about half as sweet as sugar and dissolves quickly in water, juice, or tea. You can barely taste it.

Myo-inositol is the most common form of inositol, a sugar alcohol that your body also produces itself from glucose. It is a building block of your cell walls and plays a role in transmitting signals within cells. You can also find it in citrus fruits, beans, and whole grains.
OstroVit recommends 1 gram per day, one heaped teaspoon. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
No, although it used to be called vitamin B8. A vitamin is by definition a substance that your body cannot make itself. Your body does make inositol itself, which is why it is no longer classified as a vitamin.
At 1 gram per day, most people notice nothing. At much higher doses, from around 12 grams per day, some people report nausea or a bloated feeling. Stick to the recommended dose and consult your doctor first if you are taking medication.
Myo-inositol is built into the phospholipids in your cell membrane. When a hormone binds to the outside of the cell, a piece of inositol is cleaved off to transmit the signal inside. In this way, it acts as a second messenger, a kind of relay between the hormone and the cell.
They are two of the nine forms of inositol, with a slightly different spatial structure. Myo-inositol is the form that is most common in your body; your body converts a small portion of it into D-chiro-inositol. Some products combine both in a fixed ratio, such as 40:1. This product contains only myo-inositol.
