Supports healthy membrane function*

Inositol is a non-essential member of the B-complex family found in both animal and plant-based foods. The form of inositol used in this product is Myo-Inositol, the most common form of the nutrient. Inositol is found in all cell membranes, with the highest concentration in the brain and central nervous system, where it plays an important role in neurotransmitter signal transmission.*

Myo-Inositol form

Inositol is also crucial for proper insulin function, lipid metabolism, and maintaining intracellular calcium balance.*

Research on Inositol

Studies have shown that inositol may have several health benefits. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology demonstrated that inositol supplementation can be effective in reducing symptoms of panic disorder and depression. Another study in the same journal showed that inositol may be a beneficial adjunct treatment for individuals with bipolar disorder. There are also studies suggesting that inositol can help improve insulin function and regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Inositol and insulin function

Inositol plays an important role in insulin function in the body. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Inositol helps improve insulin efficiency and may assist in regulating blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism showed that inositol supplementation can improve insulin sensitivity in individuals with insulin resistance.

Inositol and lipid metabolism

Inositol also plays a key role in lipid metabolism, the process by which the body breaks down and uses fat for energy. Inositol helps regulate lipid metabolism and may help prevent fat accumulation in the liver and other tissues. A study published in the Journal of Lipid Research showed that inositol supplementation can reduce fat accumulation and improve lipid profiles in overweight individuals.
