Inositol:

Inositol is a member of the B-Group Vitamins that is not regarded as a true vitamin as the body can make small amounts of it. Inositol is a glucose isomer present in both plant and animal tissues.

Inositol works with Choline to help form lecithin.

Lecithin:
 Lecithin is a phospholipid found in plant and animal tissue. Lecithin is needed for the metabolism of fats and is an essential part of all cell membranes.

Lecithin is an emulsifier widely used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry as a spreading ingredient in make-up, crèmes and ointments. It is an antioxidant and is used as an emollient in many preparations.

Lecithin is present in all living organisms but highly concentrated in egg yolk (almost 10%) from which it is extracted for commercial purposes.
