Inosit
Also known as inositol. It is a cyclic hexahydric alcohol with the molecular formula C6H12O6 . There are many stereoisomers, but the most important is myoinositol (also called mesoinositol), which is found in plants either free or in the form of phosphate esters, and in animals it exists free in muscles and in the form of inositol phospholipids. It promotes the growth of many microorganisms. As a medicine, 0.5 to 2 g per day is taken orally to prevent arteriosclerosis and fatty liver, and 3 g or more per day is taken for treatment. (Figure)
