Though often referred to as vitamin B8, inositol is not a vitamin at all but rather a type of sugar with several important functions.
Inositol plays a structural role in your body as a major component of cell membranes .
It also influences the action of a hormone essential for blood sugar control. In addition, it affects chemical messengers in your brain, such as serotonin and dopamine .
However, supplemental doses of inositol are often higher. Researchers have studied the benefits of doses up to 18 grams per day - with promising results and few side effects.
