GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF INOSITOL

Inositol ,chemically hexahydroxycylohexane, is any of nine stereoisomeric alcohols that closely resemble glucose in structure. It is a constituent of many cell phosphoglycerides. Meso- or myoinositol, named for its presence in muscle tissue, is biologically the important isomer. Myo-Inositol is the precursor in the phosphatidylinositol cycle, a source of two second messengers (diacylglycerol  and inositol triphosphate). Inositols and their phosphates lack a hydrolytically labile glycosidic linkage and are stable to degradative enzymes in vivo. They have been used in the stable insulin mediators, inhibitors, and modulators. It is known that Inositols are effective in relieving symptoms of depression. Though inositols are not regarded as an essential nutrient in humans, they are sometimes classified as a member of the vitamin B complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, pyridoxine, folic acid, inositol, and vitamin B12). Inositol is essential for the growth of some yeasts and fungi.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
D-Pinitol, methyl D-chiro-inositol, extracted from Pinus species, legumes and other plants in long spell of dry weather. It is believed to be a salt stress regulator in plants. It is converted to D-chiro-inositol in the body and it is thought to be involved in blood sugar control metabolism as an antidiabetic property. Pintol is commercially formulated in sports nutritions since it increases glycogen in muscle cells in the absence of insulin and fluorinated esters of inositol which show cell growth inhibitory properties.
