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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the nickname vitamin B8 is incorrect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNo health claims\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no permitted health claims for inositol. We therefore only describe what the substance is and how much is in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA fixed dose in a vegan capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule provides 600 mg of \u003cstrong\u003emyo-inositol\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapsule or powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: \u003cstrong\u003emyo-inositol\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore background?
