Inositol

Food-grade inositol is a carbohydrate and essential nutrient often classified as a B-vitamin, although the body can synthesize it naturally. Recognized for its integral role in various physiological processes, including cell membrane structure, signal transduction, and lipid metabolism, inositol is found in many food sources such as fruits, beans, and grains. In the food industry, inositol is used as a food supplement and ingredient in a variety of products, including beverages, cereals, and nutritional supplements. It is valued not only for its potential health benefits, such as supporting mental health and mood regulation, but also for its functional properties in promoting overall well-being. Food-grade inositol is carefully processed to meet quality standards and is widely incorporated into formulations to enhance nutritional profiles and contribute to the development of health-conscious food products.
