What is the purpose of sulphuric acid in the production of vitamin tablets?
Inositol was once called vitamin B-8 (it and PABA (once called vitamin B-x), together with choline, are considered to be vitamin B co-factors). The non-food version of inositol is made from phytin processed with sulfuric acid [2]. Inositol is a lipotrophic factor, as is also necessary for hair growth.
