Inositol is part of the vitamin B-complex. It is required for proper formation of cell membranes.
Inositol affects nerve transmission and helps in transporting fats within the body

Choline is a B vitamin which is essential for the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which "sends electrical impulses across synapses between nerve cells, and from motor neurons to muscle cells, causing the muscle cells to contract" (1). It is also an important component of our cell membranes in the form of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. In addition, it is also required for the proper metabolism of fats. "Without choline, fats become trapped in the liver, where they block metabolism...People on choline-deficient diets develop liver and kidney disorders" (2) which often result in high cholesterol and atherosclerosis. At the same time, it can effect the memory and mood, not only because it is a neurotransmitter, but because it is essential for the health of the myelin sheaths of the nerves, which play an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses (3).
The principle uses for choline supplementation are the treatment of liver disorders, elevated cholesterol levels at 350mg 3 times daily



Para-amino benzoic acid (PABA) is considered to be in the B-complex vitamin family. The human body can make it from folic acid, since PABA forms the middle part of that vitamin. it is only really used in a vitamin or topically as a suncream.For bodybuilders maintaining Folic acid balance is important for muscle protein metabolism and improving digestion. Medically it is used to treat folic acid anemia, which can be detected through symptoms of indigestion, depression and anxiety.
