Hey Quantum. “Non-essential vitamin” is an oxymoron because a vitamin By Definition is essential. Inositol is NOT a vitamin. However, inositol can be beneficial as a supplement for some people. The medical journal American Family Physician (Aug. 15, 2007) states: ” Inositol has been found to have modest effects in patients with panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder.” I personally take Inositol Hexaphosphate supplements because there is a large body of scientific research showing it can reduce the risk of kidney stone formation in patients with a high urine pH (pH above 6.5) – a chronic health issue for me. Best wishes.
