In this episode of Vitaminix, the spotlight is on Vitamin B8, also known as inositol. The show explores its key role in supporting cell membrane structure and function, as well as its involvement in regulating blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity. Inositol is also vital for brain health, particularly in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin. The episode highlights food sources rich in B8, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, and discusses how deficiencies may contribute to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and anxiety. It also emphasizes that while inositol is generally well-tolerated, its benefits are often enhanced through supplementation, especially in cases of specific health concerns.
