Inositol was once called vitamin B-8 (it and PABA (once called vitamin B-x), together with choline, are considered to be vitamin B co-factors).

The non-food version of inositol is made from phytin processed with sulfuric acid [2]. Inositol is a lipotrophic factor, as is also necessary for hair growth.

The amount of sulphuric acid present in those homeopathic remedies will be about the same as in tap water. Which applies to the vast majority of homeopathic remedies. Save your money - just use water....
