Cyto-Inositol Powder 500g
- Inositol is a B-vitamin like compound that improves cell communication through increased receptor sensitivity
- Inositol has been studied for its ability to regulate mood, improve various markers of polycystic ovarian syndrome such as ovulation, insulin levels, blood sugars and fertility, and also improve thyroid health
- Each scoop offers 4 grams of pure myo-inositol
- Provided in a 500 gram container for variable dosing regimens
Inositol is a naturally occurring isomer of glucose and an important nutrient in the B-vitamin family. As a key component of the cellular membrane, it is involved in communication and signaling between cells. Specifically, inositol increases the sensitivity of cell receptors and has been demonstrated to increase the receptor sensitivity for serotonin, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, insulin and thyroid hormones.
Given inositol’s crucial function in regulating multiple metabolic and hormonal pathways, it should come as no surprise that research has found that inositol can play a role in a wide range of clinical indications. For example, daily doses of inositol in the range of 12-8 grams/day have been studied for its beneficial effects on mood regulation. At more moderate doses of 1-4 grams/day, inositol has been shown to effectively regulate insulin receptor sensitivity and improve fertility in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). When combined with folic acid, inositol has been demonstrated to improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) rates. Moreover, another study found that this same combination of nutrients was more effective at inducing ovulation and achieving pregnancy in infertile women with PCOS when directly compared to metformin. Finally, low doses of myoinositol have found additional benefits for thyroid health, when combined with selenium, to reduce antibody levels in the blood.
It is noteworthy that inositol exists within the body as both myo-inositol or d-chiro-inositol and that inositol can also be supplemented in either of these forms. Although tissue levels vary, myo-inositol is the predominant form within the central nervous system and is found in a 40:1 ratio to d-chiroinositol in the plasma. Both forms have demonstrated insulin-like effects and effectiveness in PCOS women when it comes to ovarian and metabolic function, while myo-inositol offers the most research to support its use in mood disorders.
Cyto·Inositol provides 4 grams of pure myo-inositol per scoop in order to provide an evidence-based amount in each serving, allowing for tailored doses depending on clinical concerns and goals. Cyto-Inositol is unflavored and delivered in a 500 gram container.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Inositol (myo-inositol) | 4g |
Non-Medicinal Ingredients: None.
Helps in the management of PCOS's hormonal and metabolic conditions by promoting healthy glucose metabolism and menstrual regularity. Inositol helps promote ovulatory function and improve oocyte quality in those with PCOS. At 3 scoops, inositol helps support healthy mood balance.
Directions for Use:
Adults (19 years and older) - For PCOS: take 1 scoop per day. For mood: take 1 scoop, 3 times per day. Consult a healthcare professional for use beyond 3 months.
Duration of use: Consult a healthcare professional for use beyond 3 months.
Cautions:
Consult a healthcare professional prior to use if • you are bipolar • you are taking Lithium • you suffer from any psychological disorder and/or condition such as frequent anxiety or depression • you are pregnant • you are breastfeeding. Consult a healthcare professional if you experience • nausea • tiredness • headache • dizziness • abdominal pain • flatulence • soft stools. Consult a healthcare professional prior to use to ensure timely treatment of a serious cause of infertility. At 3 scoops per day, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea, flatus). Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen. Keep out of reach of children.
Known Adverse Reactions: At 3 scoops per day, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea, flatus).
