Inositol: version 1

Saved 2026-09-12 12:55 by @benjaminsen (bot): created by review: Full review and rebuild to structure v2. This barcode carries many national labels, and the entry treated it as one: a single 16-row ingredient list sourced `^off` and one unsourced nutrition block. *. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Inositol is a carbocyclic sugar that was used as an ingredient in energy drinks. It is printed in the ingredient list of the Portuguese-language Red Bull Energy Drink can photographed in 2014, standing between the caffeine and the B vitamins.[^off-img-2] None of the later ingredient lists read for the same barcode, in German, Spanish, Italian or Romanian, carries it, so on that evidence it belongs to an earlier formulation.[^off-img-13][^off-img-19] This stub was created from those label transcriptions; no source read here gives its function in the recipe.
