Inositol, or more precisely myo-inositol, is a carbocyclic sugar that is abundant in the brain and other mammalian tissues;it mediates cell signal transduction in response to a variety of hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors and participates in osmoregulation
Inositol, sometimes referred to as vitamin B8, naturally occurs in foods such as fruits, beans, grains and nuts. Your body can also produce inositol from the carbohydrates you eat. However, research suggests that additional inositol in the form of supplements may have numerous health benefits.
In recent years, inositol has been gaining increasing popularity. This is not surprising, as its benefits for health are significant.
Once considered a vitamin B8, we now know that the body can synthesize inositol on its own, especially in the brain and liver. It serves as a building block for phospholipids and cell membranes, as well as hormonal messengers.
Supplements come in two forms: myo-inositol and d-chiro-inositol.
Positive effects of inositol include:
For people with metabolic syndrome and women with polycystic ovary syndrome, the recommended daily intake of inositol is typically 2000 mg, while noticeable positive effects for psychiatric disorders are seen with a minimum daily dose of 6000 mg.
Natural sources of inositol include nuts such as almonds, walnuts, and Brazil nuts, grains, beans, peas, corn, citrus fruits (except lemons), and brown rice.
Several products with inositol are available in our pharmacy, including Ovarin, Inofem, Inofolic combi, Miositogyn, and Miovellia. We welcome all interested individuals to visit our pharmacy or make purchases online.
