Supports Healthy Membrane Function*

Inositol is a non-essential member of the B-complex family with dietary sources from both animal and plant-based foods. The form of Inositol used in this product is Myo-Inositol, the most prevalent form of the nutrient. Inositol is found in all cell membranes, with the highest concentrations in the brain and central nervous system, where it plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter signaling.*

Myo-Inositol Form

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

Research on Inositol

Research has shown that Inositol may have several health benefits. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology found that Inositol supplementation may be effective in reducing symptoms of panic anxiety and depression. Another study published in the same journal indicated that Inositol could be beneficial as an adjunct treatment for individuals with bipolar disorder. There is also research suggesting that Inositol may help improve insulin function and regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Inositol and Insulin Function

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

Inositol and Lipid Metabolism

Inositol also plays a significant 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 the accumulation of fat in the liver and other tissues. A study published in the Journal of Lipid Research found that Inositol supplementation can reduce fat storage and improve lipid profiles in individuals with obesity.
