Although inositol is not really a vitamin, it is classified as a member of the B Complex, and it works very closely with the B vitamins biotin and choline to breakdown fats and to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, thereby helping control hypertension and arteriosclerosis. It also seems to lower cholesterol and control fatty deposits on the liver by metabilzing serum blood fats. It helps modulate serotonin activity in the brain and hence has something to do with your mood. It also helps reduce breast and ovarian cancer risk. It also seems to help control many side-effects with diabetes. Found in almonds, onions, oranges, peanuts, oats, peas, tomatoes, zucchini and almonds.
