What myo-inositol is
Myo-inositol is a sugar alcohol, also known as a polyol. Your body produces it itself from glucose, and it is also found in grains, legumes, nuts and fruit. You sometimes hear it referred to as vitamin B8. Strictly speaking, this is incorrect, because your body does not produce a true vitamin itself. These capsules provide a fixed dose of it.
Why the nickname vitamin B8 is incorrect
Let's clear up the confusion over the name, as this is where many people get stuck. A vitamin is by definition a substance that your body cannot produce itself and that you must therefore obtain from food. Myo-inositol does not fall into this category, because your body produces it itself from sugar. The nickname vitamin B8 is an old term that has stuck around, but scientifically the substance does not belong there. Good to know: it remains the same substance, only the labelling is incorrect. Anyone looking for myo-inositol under the name B8 will therefore end up with exactly the same molecule.
No health claims
There are no permitted health claims for inositol. We therefore only describe what the substance is and how much is in it.
A fixed dose in a vegan capsule
Each capsule provides 600 mg of myo-inositol, in an HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) capsule shell with chicory inulin as a filler. The bottle contains 100 capsules and is completely vegan. The convenience lies in the form: you swallow a capsule with water and you're done. No weighing out powder, no measuring spoon, no taste in your glass. For those accustomed to capsules, this is a convenient, low-threshold way to start with inositol.
Capsule or powder
This capsule provides 600 mg per piece; the recommended use is 1 capsule per day. The difference with powder is not in the substance itself, because it is the same in powder and capsule form, but in ease of use. A capsule is practical and tasteless, powder is more economical per gram.
In short: myo-inositol is not an exotic substance but a sugar alcohol that your body also produces itself, here in a fixed amount of 600 mg per vegan capsule. Convenient for anyone who simply wants an easy capsule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is inositol the same as vitamin B8?
It is the same substance, but the name vitamin B8 is actually incorrect. By definition, a vitamin is not produced by the body itself, and your body does produce inositol itself. The name B8 is an old designation that has stuck around.
Is this product vegan?
Yes, this product is completely vegan. The capsule wall is made from plant-based HPMC (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) instead of gelatin. The filler, inulin fibre from chicory, is also plant-based.
How much inositol is in each capsule?
Each capsule contains 600 mg of myo-inositol. The recommended use is 1 capsule per day, after a meal.
How long does one jar last?
One jar contains 100 capsules. At one capsule per day, it will last you over three months.
Capsule or powder, what's the difference?
The substance is the same in both; the difference lies in ease of use. A capsule is tasteless and practical, with a fixed 600 mg per piece. Powder is more economical per gram.
