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.
Sulphuric Acid is used as a homeopathic remedy for:
Injuries (recovering from an injury)
Anemia
Exhaustion
Bruising
Ulceration
Gangrene
Thrush (oral thrush particularly in children)
Diarrhea
Hot flushes (menopausal, worse on hot days)

Thanks folks.I was wondering as I drive 100ton wagon loads of the stuff into a vitamin making factory{ROCHE}.I thought they maybe used it for cleaning.
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....
