Jarrow Formulas Inositol is a dietary supplement containing pure pharmaceutical-grade inositol. The powder form provides easy and convenient dosage. Inositol exhibits a number of positive properties for the body, including supporting fat and carbohydrate metabolism, supporting normal liver function, and may improve hormonal and metabolic parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Inositol, also known as vitamin B8, is a substance included in the group of vitaminoids - compounds with vitamin-like effects. Inositol occurs in the form of several isomers, of which myo-inositol is the biologically active one.
An essential component of cell membranes
Inositol is part of phospholipids, more specifically, phosphatidylinositol, a component of cell membranes, including brain and liver lipids. Inositol is thought to help support cognitive function and improve mental well-being. It may also exhibit protective effects on the liver.
Optimal glucose and insulin metabolism
Inositol in the form of inositol triphosphate (IP3) is a secondary signaling molecule that transmits insulin signaling, among other things. IP3 is formed by the cleavage of phosphatidyl inositol diphosphate, which is present in cell membranes. Inositol indirectly leads to increased expression of GLUT-4 glucose transporters, which are located in muscle tissue and are dependent on insulin action, among other things. This leads to an increase in the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream and, consequently, to lower sugar levels and reduce insulin resistance.
Help in the fight against PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common causes of menstrual disorders and infertility in women. PCOS is usually accompanied by insulin resistance. Inositol, by improving glucose-insulin metabolism, helps regulate hormonal and metabolic parameters in PCOS. It can also restore proper ovarian function and reduce symptoms such as hirsutism, among others, as proven in numerous clinical studies.
In summary, Jarrow Formulas Inositol is primarily recommended for improving insulin sensitivity, aiding in impaired glucose tolerance, for women with PCOS, to improve cognitive function and mood, and to support liver health.
