Myo-Inositol Feed Grade
CAS Number: 87-89-8
Myo-Inositol is a cyclic polyol classified as a B-vitamin (B8) that plays essential roles in cell membrane phospholipid synthesis, signal transduction, and lipid metabolism in fish and crustaceans. It is an essential dietary nutrient for fish and shrimp as they cannot synthesise sufficient quantities endogenously. Our feed-grade myo-inositol offers high purity and solubility suitable for aquafeed and pet food applications.
