I recently purchased some 1,000 mg Inositol caplets from Puritan's Pride. I read that it "aids in the breakdown of fats, helps in the reduction of blood cholesterol, and helps to prevent thinning hair. It promotes the export of fat from the liver. Inositol is required for the proper function of several brain neurotransmitters. Inositol may improve nerve conduction velocities in diabetics with peripheral neuropathy. Inositol works together with other methyl donors such as TMG or SAMe. Inositol may help protect against atherosclerosis and hair loss."

I'm not so concerned about thinning hair as I am about atherosclerosis. My last blood workup showed that my triglycerides were on the high side of normal. I read that Insitol would help with this. I'm also taking about 900 mg of krill oil a day, too, in an effort to avoid medication.

Has anyone taken Inositol and what do you think of it?
