Product Information
What is Solgar Inositol 500mg?
Inositol is a natural sugar produced by our bodies and found in some foods such as citrus fruits, and high-fibre foods like beans and brown rice. There are 9 forms of Inositol, the two most common forms are Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol. The others are Scylio-inositol, Epi-inositol, Cis-inositol, L-chiro-inositol, Muco-inositol, Allo-inositol, and Neo-inositol. Inositol is often referred to as Vitamin B8, except it is not actually a vitamin but rather a vitamin-like substance as it plays the role in the structure of cell membranes and other processes. It also influences insulin levels and the body’s response to hormones linked to mood and cognition. Therefore, Inositol can provide many health-related benefits for various medical conditions.
Solgar Inositol provides 500mg per capsule and is a “Gold Standard” supplement that helps to support several processes in the body.
Directions for use: take 1-3 tablets daily with a meal or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
What are the benefits of Inositol?
There are many health benefits that are believed to come with taking Inositol supplements including:
- Mental health: there has been effects of Inositol being able to treat stress and anxiety-related disorders such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), fatigue and more. This is because Inositol may increase levels of serotonin and dopamine which are out ‘feel good’ hormones.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Inositol supplements have shown to be a promising treatment for various symptoms of PCOS. It can help with maintaining metabolic, endocrine, and the reproductive health of women with PCOS.
- Metabolic Syndromes: Inositol has been found to promote normal lipid metabolism and control blood sugar levels, blood pressure, insulin activity and cholesterol levels and therefore reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) . Inositol can also promote normal liver function by helping to break down fat in the liver. Inositol is, therefore, liver function suitable for those with NAFLD associated with obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes. Inositol and choline are essential components of cell walls. By taking care of the cell walls, choline contributes further to normal lipid metabolism and normal liver function.
