D-chiro-inositol
Inositol is a “B-vitamin like” nutrient found in many foods including grains and citrus fruit. In recent years, research has uncovered the powerful effects of high doses of this nutrient on regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting the healthy functioning of the ovaries, balancing mood and regulating metabolic factors. Myo- and d-chiro-inositol are two different forms of inositol. Myo-inositol is the most abundant form of inositol in nature; whereas d-chiro-inositol is made by the body from myo-inositol. Each performs different functions in the body, making it imperative to sustain the proper ratio of both molecules.

Ingredient Benefits
Supports blood sugar regulation
Researchers discovered that administration of D-chiro-inositol to diabetic rats, Rhesus monkeys and now to humans accelerated glucose delivery into fat and muscles cells and sensitized the cells to the action of insulin.
Promotes healthy ovarian function
D-chiro-inositol modulates the activity of aromatase by reducing the corresponding gene expression, and D-chiro-inositol supplementation was successfully used to induce ovulation in anovulatory PCOS patients
Works in combination with myo-inositol
Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol have been proven to be effective in PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) treatment, by improving insulin resistance, serum androgen levels and many features of the metabolic syndrome.
