Inositol is a vitamin-like substance from the group of sugar alcohols, formerly known as vitamin B8. The human body can produce inositol itself from glucose, but it is also absorbed through food. [1]
Inositol is present in all body cells and plays a central role in cell communication, hormone metabolism and signal transmission within the cells.
The two most important forms of inositol in the human body are myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol. They fulfill different but complementary functions. [2] [3] [4]
is the most abundant form and supports, among other things, the function of cell membranes, the transmission of hormonal signals such as insulin and the regulation of the nervous system. It is particularly active in tissues with a high energy turnover, such as the brain and ovaries.
is formed in the body from myo-inositol and is mainly active in the liver, fatty tissue and muscles. It plays an important role in glucose metabolism and supports insulin action in metabolically active tissues.
A food supplement combining myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol can mirror the body’s natural inositol ratios and provide targeted support for their respective functions, without disrupting the body’s natural balance.
This results in a holistic approach to support the body's own balance.
Supplementation with myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol can be particularly useful during periods of increased stress or with an unbalanced diet. Certain groups may benefit in particular:
Women with hormonal imbalances
Studies suggest that the combination of myo- and D-chiro-inositol can help to support insulin metabolism and promote hormonal balance – without interfering with the body’s own hormonal processes. [5] [6] [2]
People with insulin resistance-related metabolic disorders
Since myo- and D-chiro-inositol play important roles in glucose and insulin metabolism, supplementation may provide supportive benefits for individuals with insulin resistance or impaired sugar metabolism – for example, as part of a holistic lifestyle approach. [5]
People with increased mental or physical stress
Inositol is involved in signal transmission in the nervous system. An increased need can arise in the event of stress, sleep problems or emotional strain. A supplement can help stabilize the body's own reserves.
People with an unbalanced diet
Inositol is also obtained from food sources such as legumes, citrus fruits, and whole-grain products. With an unbalanced diet or certain dietary restrictions, intake may be limited, and supplementation can be beneficial.
