Inositol, also known as cyclohexanol, is widely distributed in animals and plants. It is a growth factor for animals and microorganisms. It was first isolated from myocardium and liver. There are many CIS and trans isomers of inositol in nature, and the naturally occurring isomer is cis-1,2,3,5-trans-4,6-cyclohexanol.
Effect
1. Reduce cholesterol;
2. Promote healthy hair growth and prevent hair loss;
3. Prevent eczema;
4. Help the redistribution (redistribution) of body fat;
5. It has sedative effect.
6. Inositol and cholesterin are combined to make ooflavin.
7. Inositol plays an important role in supplying nutrition to brain cells.
Ageusia
Eczema, hair turns white easily.
Ingestion source
Inositol rich foods: animal liver, beer yeast, lima bean, bovine brain and heart, American melon, grapefruit, raisin, malt, unrefined molasses, peanuts, cabbage, whole grain.
Nutritional supplements: 6 egg phosphorus fat capsules with soybean as the main component contain 244mg inositol and choline respectively; Powdered lecithin can be dissolved in liquid; Most vitamin B complex preparations contain 100 mg of inositol and choline.
Generally, the daily intake is 250 ~ 450 mg.
Enemy of inositol
Water, sulfonamides, estrogen, food processing, alcohol, coffee, sunshine, high temperature boiling, sleeping pills, aspirin.
Taking advice
When taking inositol, it must be taken together with choline and other B vitamins.
People who often drink coffee should take more inositol.
People taking lecithin had better take calcium that has been chelated to maintain the balance of phosphorus and calcium in the body, because inositol and choline seem to increase the content of phosphorus in the blood.
To achieve the highest effect of vitamin E, adequate intake of inositol and choline is necessary.
Application
Pharmaceutical industry
Creatine can be used to produce inositol tablets, inositol nicotinate and triglyceride, and to treat hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, fatty liver and hypercholesterolemia in blood.
Nicotinic acid inositol ester takes nicotinic acid, phosphorus oxychloride and inositol as raw materials. Nicotinic acid is first reacted with phosphorus oxychloride to prepare nicotinic acid acyl chloride, and then reacted with inositol to obtain the finished product.
Fluoroinositol is a newly developed product with anti-cancer, cancer treatment and high-efficiency immune function.
Paclitaxel synthesized chemically has poor effect on cancer treatment; However, after modified with inositol, the cancer treatment effect is better than that of natural products. Whether at home or abroad, paclitaxel has been in short supply. This has become a new consumption point of inositol in today's pharmaceutical industry.
Food industry
Inositol is a kind of "bioactive element", which participates in metabolic activities in the body and has multiple functions such as immunity, prevention and treatment of some diseases. In fermentation and food industry, inositol can be used to cultivate a variety of strains and promote the growth of yeast. If higher animals lack inositol, growth stagnation and hair loss will occur. The daily demand of human body for inositol is 1-2g, Many health drinks and children's food are added with trace inositol.
Inositol is also a growth factor for some microorganisms in the intestine. When other vitamins are deficient, it can stimulate the microorganisms lacking vitamins to synthesize vitamins.
Feed industry
Inositol should be added to the feeds of fish, aquatic animals, rare birds, fur animals, ornamental cats, dogs and other rare birds and animals. In prawn and fish feed, the addition amount of inositol is usually 300-500 mg / kg. Roche pharmaceutical of Switzerland suggests that the addition amount of fish and salmon feed is 1000 mg / kg, and that of eel and carp is 150 mg / kg, otherwise inositol deficiency will occur.
Practice has proved that the addition of inositol in feed can promote the growth of livestock and prevent death. The amount of inositol is usually 0.2% - 0.5% of feed. The annual consumption of inositol for animals in Japan is more than 100t.
