InositolGeneral • Inositol is essential for hair growth – too bad it’s not helping me get lost hair back again • large amounts of caffeine can deplete it
• works with choline as a core part of lecithin, an emulsifying agent that helps keep fats in solution in blood and body fluids • helps remove fats from liver • working with choline helps prevent arteriosclerosis (blockage of the artery as seen to the right) • helps brain cells take in nutrients • essential to growth and health of cells in bone marrow, eye membranes and intestines RDA Not shown. Dosage by Supplements Should be about the same as choline intake: • adults 150 mg/day • teens 30 mg/day • Children 1-4 years 15 mg/day; 4+ 30 mg/day Toxicity No known toxicity but above levels are sufficient.
