D-chiro-inositol is actually produced from myo-inositol. A part of myo-inositol is converted into D-chiro-inositol by the epimerase enzyme. But myo-inositol makes up the bulk of inositols (about 99%), so there's a lot less D-chiro-inositol around. It's found in the highest concentrations in the tissues that reserve glycogen - the liver and fat.
D-chiro-inositol helps generate energy from sugar. But the biggest part that it plays in relation to helping those with PCOS is that it also mediates the action of insulin and has a part in the synthesis of insulin-dependent androgen. As well as insulin-related research, it has also been found to potentially aid healthy ovarian function.
Too little myo-inositol and too much D-chiro-inositol can cause a lack of ovulation. Therefore, taking myo-inositol can also help restore ovulation, but if you're taking D-chiro-inositol too, the right formula is vital, because high doses of D-chiro-inositol can actually prevent your body from absorbing myo-inositol and negatively impact oocytes (eggs). Women with PCOS have also been shown to produce less mature eggs as a result of not having enough myo-inositol.
Myo-inositol has been used to help treat female infertility for many years and this application is backed by a vast amount of research. D-chiro-inositol has also been used in combination with myo-inositol.
Myo-inositol aids fertility in various ways:
D-chiro-inositol also helps to balance your hormones and manage insulin levels, which can aid fertility - but only when taken in combination with myo-inositol.
Product Description:
Inositol, also known as vitamin B8, is a naturally occurring compound that belongs to the vitamin B complex. It is a white crystalline powder with a slightly sweet taste and is readily soluble in water. Inositol is often derived from various plant sources, such as fruits, grains, and beans. It is available in different forms, including myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol.
Function:
Inositol plays a vital role in numerous physiological processes in the body. It acts as a precursor for various signaling molecules and is involved in cellular communication, neurotransmitter production, and lipid metabolism. Inositol is essential for maintaining healthy cell membranes and optimal brain function.
Application:
Mental health and mood support: Inositol is widely used in supplements targeting mental health and mood disorders. It is believed to have a positive impact on conditions such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Inositol acts as a natural mood stabilizer and may help promote a sense of calm and overall mental well-being.
PCOS support: Inositol, specifically myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, has shown promising results in managing symptoms associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is commonly used in supplements aimed at improving restoring hormonal balance, and supporting reproductive health in individuals with PCOS.
Weight management: Inositol may also be used in supplements targeting weight management and metabolic function. It is believed to help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, and support healthy metabolism, which can aid in weight loss efforts.
Cognitive function and memory: Inositol plays a crucial role in brain function and cognitive processes. It is often found in supplements targeting memory enhancement, focus, and concentration. Inositol may support neuronal health, neurotransmitter function, and overall cognitive performance.
Skin and hair health: Inositol is beneficial for maintaining healthy skin and hair. It helps regulate sebum production, supporting skin moisture balance and reducing the risk of acne breakouts. Inositol is also believed to promote hair growth, prevent hair loss, and improve the overall health and appearance of hair.
