643-12-9 D-chiro Inosito Powder

D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is the most optically active isomer among the nine inositol isomers and has various physiological functions. In addition to promoting liver lipid metabolism, DCI can also sensitize insulin, lower blood sugar, improve ovarian function in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), regulate hormone balance, improve menstrual irregularities, and exhibit antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, DCI has broad development prospects as a raw material for pharmaceuticals, health products, and dietary supplements.

DCI is a member of the inositol family and plays an important role in insulin signal transduction. It promotes glucose metabolism by accelerating the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase and pyruvate dehydrogenase, improving insulin resistance, and partially restoring insulin sensitivity and glucose handling capacity. As a nutrient naturally present in the human body, DCI is more easily recognized by cells and does not cause rejection reactions. In 1994, the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act certified it as a dietary supplement.

44~70% of PCOS patients have insulin resistance, even thin PCOS patients are not immune. This group of PCOS women with insulin resistance are most likely to lack D-chiro-inositol.

D-chiro-inositol can support insulin signal transmission and promote cell sugar intake even under the action of lower insulin, which can relieve hyperinsulinemia.

That is to say, after DCI is taken, it can increase insulin sensitivity, reduce insulin concentration in the blood, enable the liver to produce sex hormone binding protein SHBG normally, and reduce free androgen in the blood, thereby achieving the effect of regulating the female physiological cycle and normal ovulation.

Regulates Menstrual Cycle: Relieves dysmenorrhea, improves irregular menstrual cycles, reduces scanty periods, and addresses issues like amenorrhea.

Supports Fertility and Prevents Gestational Diabetes: Supports normal ovulation, prevents congenital fetal defects, and alleviates symptoms like excessive thirst, hunger, and urination during pregnancy.

Improves Metabolic Syndrome: Assists in managing conditions such as diabetes, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and lipid metabolism abnormalities.

Improves Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Relieves ovarian ovulation disorders, reduces androgen levels, and helps regulate excessive insulin secretion.
