The muscle is attached to a flat, strong tendon that is connected to the shoulder joint capsule. Along with the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles, the supraspinatus muscle helps initiate horizontal abduction (raising the arms skyward) of the shoulder.
Inositol has a calming effect as it is involved in the production and action of neurotransmitters (chemicals that transmit messages between nerve cells) like serotonin and acetylcholine. People who are depressed have been found to have lower levels of inositol than normal. Inositol has been tested as a treatment for depression, and initial evidence is encouraging. In a small double-blind study those on the supplement who took 12 g of inositol daily for 4 weeks showed significant improvement compared to the placebo group.
Inositol is a naturally occurring substance that used to be considered as one of the B vitamins. The body is able to produce it on its own, though, so it isnât considered a vitamin anymore. Inositol is the common name given to Myo-Inositol. So generally, if you see Inositol supplements, it is Myo-Inositol on the bottle. This is important because myo-inositol is part of a family of 9 forms of inositol, otherwise known as an âisomerâ. This gets a bit technical so bear with me.
