Product details

The most important thing to know about "Vitamin B8" is that it is not officially recognized as a vitamin anymore. The term is outdated and refers to a compound now known as inositol.

Our bodies can produce inositol in significant amounts (primarily by the kidneys), so it doesn't strictly fit the definition of a vitamin, which is an essential nutrient that must be obtained from the diet.

Despite this, inositol remains a crucial compound for numerous bodily functions, and it is often still grouped with the B-vitamin family due to its role in cell signaling and metabolism.
