Thanks for the helpFWIW, on the iherb site, under the Jarrow Formula description of inositol, it says simply that inositol is the common term for myo-inositol. (I looked up Jarrow because it was recommended by Barbara Cat on this site.)
Perhaps when the physicians and scientists are referring to it they are just being more precise and it really is all the same thing?
