Inositol is a lipotropic and a member of the B-Complex family. Its main function is to help to produce lecithin (which metabolizes fats and cholesterol) and to help prevent the excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. It - apparently - is "brain nurishing" like choline. From what I am reading in "The Vitamin Bible," Dr. Atkins (of the "Atkins Diet") recommends 2,000mg of inositol along with pantothenic acid as a sleep aid. Inositol also has a "calming effect". Heavy coffee, tea and cola drinking can lower inositol levels. And finally, it's recommended to help prevent hair loss.

So far I haven't read anything about any effects on dopamine. Hope this helps....

Jerry
