Inositol is a chemical compound that is classified as part of the B complex, although it is not technically a vitamin because it contains no nitrogen and can be synthesized by the human body. Nonetheless, inositol plays a vital role in several physiological processes, including forming cell membranes, ensuring the proper function of cells, assisting in the transmission of nerve signals and transports lipids throughout the body. This helps muscles to contract more efficiently, allowing the body to use fat as fuel. In addition to its importance in metabolic processes, inositol also assists enzymatic activity, maintains cholesterol levels, controls estrogen levels, and contributes to healthy brain cells, eyes and intestines.

Omni’s label indicates that users should take one pill three times daily with a meal. Presumably this will ensure that nutrient levels will remain constant throughout the day and that no ingredients go to waste. While this makes sense, unfortunately it may not be practical in everyday life. Many of us find it difficult to remember to take our vitamins just once a day, let alone three times. Rather than requiring consumers to take multiple doses throughout the day, we prefer products that package a full day’s worth of supplements in individual packet. This makes it much easier for consumers to simply grab their vitamins and go, and therefore much more likely that they will actually remember to take them.

When it comes to multivitamins, one cannot underestimate the importance of convenience. For must of us, the less we have to remember when we’re rushing out the door, the better. Individually wrapped doses make the morning rush even easier, because they can be thrown into a bag or purse the night before. And since they are packaged together, there are no lost pills swimming around at the end of the day.

In order to get the most out of any multivitamin, we also recommend looking for a product that contains the advanced ingredient 2-AEP, which has been shown to significantly enhance the absorption of vitamins and minerals.
