Vitamin B8, also known as Inositol is another ingredient found in many detox products.  There are many B Vitamins used in the detox drinks and capsules but vitamin B8 helps reduce stress related with trying to pass a drug test.  Vitamin B8 can be found in many foods including most citrus fruits, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, unprocessed whole grains, cabbage, nuts and raisins, cantaloupe, liver and lima beans.  Along with helping reduce stress, Vitamin B8 is also good for treating depression and panic attacks.

Vitamin B8 is sometimes listed on food labels as Biotin and it is recommended that we ingest at least 300 mcg per day. Vitamin B8 is vital to maintain a healthy metabolism because it helps in metabolizing and storing amino acids which are keys to the body’s process of turning food into energy.  It also strengthens the immune system which keeps dangerous toxins and drug metabolites from building up in our bodies to dangerous levels.  It also helps in the production of hair and nails.

Vitamin B8 is a main component in the health of cell membranes.  The membranes of the cell help filter whatever comes in and out of the cells.   Vitamin B8 helps with the movement of fats in the cells and the release of calcium in our cells.  There are not too many cases of Vitamin B8 deficiency but there are certain tell tale signs that you may need to boost your intake of Vitamin B8 such as weak muscles, cramps, fatigue, hair loss, eczema, drowsiness, confusion, and tingling in your hands and feet.
