ALINESS Inositol myo / D-chiro 40/1 650mg 100 Vegetarian capsules

Inositol in the form of a mixture of the best absorbable isomers myo and D-chiro, with an optimal ratio of 40: 1.

Inositol is a substance that is involved in many important changes in the body, related to, inter alia, with the metabolism of neurotransmitters (serotonin reuptake) or the synthesis of certain hormones (e.g. insulin). Despite the fact that it is sometimes included in the B vitamins and called vitamin B8 - due to the important functions it performs and the fact that, similar to B vitamins, it dissolves well in water - it is in fact not a vitamin, but a vitamin-like substance because the body produces it on its own, mainly in the brain, liver and kidneys.

Inositol can exist in 9 chemical forms, differing in the spatial configuration of the molecule. Such variations are called configurational isomers. They give the impression of being twins and have similar physical and chemical properties. However, due to the different spatial orientations of individual -OH groups, their molecules to a different degree match the receptors and metabolic pathways in the body, and therefore are also characterized by different biological activity.


The two most common isomers in nature are myo-inositol - which has the greatest biological activity and is considered the most valuable and bioavailable form of inositol, and the equilibrium D-chiro-inositol. Therefore, when deciding to supplement the diet with inositol, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the dietary supplement contains the most active isomer of myo-inositol.


Inositol and PCOS and pregnancy planning

• It is estimated that 5% to 10% of women may be affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is one of the most common causes of menstrual disorders and infertility in women.
• Inositol is involved in many metabolic processes in the body. There is, among others a precursor of phospholipids, which are responsible for the production of important intracellular signals within the oocyte, i.e. the precursor of the ovum, and its sufficiently high concentration in the body correlates with the quality of the oocytes produced.
• Both isomers - myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol - occur in the body and remain in balance with each other. According to the latest scientific research, due to the different functions of each of the isomers in the body, the supplementation of both forms of inositol (myo / D-chiro) in the ratio of 40: 1 is the most beneficial for women planning pregnancy.
• In addition to the most bioavailable myo isomer, the composition of Aliness Inositol has also been enriched with the isomeric form of D-chiro, while maintaining the optimal 40: 1 ratio. Thanks to this, the product is also a supplementation proposal for women trying to conceive.
