Inositol - Your natural anti-depressant... Inositol is a member of the vitamin B complex and is often referred to as vitamin B8 (although it’s not really a vitamin at all). Inositol is actually a naturally occurring glucose isomer. It has been shown to treat depression, mood swings and to a lesser extent, bipolar disorder. Research has shown that those with low levels of inositol in their body have a higher chance of suffering any of these symptoms. Also, inositol is known to participate in the action of serotonin production in the brain and nerve systems that responds well to mood stabilisers. Put these together and you have a pretty great, natural antidepressant.
