Inositol can be regarded as a multicomponent hydrocarbon derivative of cyclohexane in chemistry. In theory, there are 9 possible isomers, such as myoinositol, epiinositol, shark inositol, etc. Almost all living organisms contain free or bound inositol. Inositol hexaphosphate exists in the form of hexaphosphate in nucleated red blood cells of plants and birds. Compounds with fewer phosphate groups than this compound are also distributed in plants and animals. In addition, free inositol mainly exists in muscles, hearts, lungs, and livers, and is a component of phosphatidylinositol, a type of phospholipid.

Muscle inositol is an essential nutrient source for birds and mammals. Lack of muscle inositol can cause symptoms such as hair loss in mice and eye abnormalities in rats. Rats can metabolize a large amount of inositol, but their urine output is not high. Sharks seem to be able to convert inositol into a substance that stores energy. It is one of the components of Biotin I.
