Further details:
Support healthy hormone balance and PCOS symptom management*
In clinical research, inositol supplementation improved multiple hormone markers, reducing insulin resistance, decreasing testosterone, and increasing SHBG compared to placebo. In a clinical study of women with PCOS, those taking myo-inositol and d-chiro-inositol (40:1 ratio) showed an 84.85% rate of resumed menstrual cycles and significant improvements in HOMA-IR levels, with benefits maintaining even after supplementation ended.*
Support healthy BMI and fat metabolism, improved body composition and lean body mass*
In a clinical study, combining inositol with diet reduced fat mass by 18.9% while increasing lean muscle by 7.1%, compared to 14% fat loss and 6.2% muscle loss with diet alone. Maintaining healthy lean muscle is crucial for metabolism, strength, and long-term weight management.*
Support healthy blood sugar levels and insulin function*
In a systematic review of 26 studies, inositol supplementation significantly reduced fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance markers. Balanced blood sugar helps maintain steady energy throughout the day, reduces cavings and supports hormonal health.*
Support optimal insulin function*†
In a systematic review of 26 studies, inositol supplementation significantly reduced fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance markers. Balanced blood sugar helps maintain steady energy throughout the day, reduces cavings and supports hormonal health.*
Promote reproductive health in women*
In a controlled trial of 70 women, 84.85% taking inositol resumed regular cycles compared to placebo. Regular cycles are a key sign of healthy ovulation and hormone balance.*
Support regular menstrual cycles and ovulation*
In a controlled trial of 70 women, 84.85% taking inositol resumed regular cycles compared to placebo. Regular cycles show healthy hormone function.*
Support healthy thyroid function*†
In a clinical study of 86 patients, 6 months of inositol with selenium supplementation showed significant improvements (p < 0.001) in thyroid function, including a reduction in TgAb and TPOAb antibodies.*
Support healthy mood balance*
In a meta-analysis of controlled trials, inositol showed positive effects on mood and emotional wellbeing. Whilst more studies are required, positive trends have been identified in women experiencing symptoms of PMDD, bipolar and anxiety.*
Support healthy pregnancy*
In a systematic review of clinical trials, inositol supplementation helped maintain healthy glucose levels during pregnancy. In another study of IVF patients, inositol supplementation significantly improved egg quality and embryo quality, leading to higher clinical pregnancy rates (45.5% vs 30.4% in control group). Egg quality, embryo quality, and regular cycles all impact fertility.*
