Description
D-Chiro-inositol (DCI) is one of nine optically active isomers of inositol. Recent research has shown that DCI not only performs the functions of inositol in promoting liver lipid metabolism but also exhibits additional biological activities, including:
Insulin-sensitizing effects
Blood glucose reduction
Improvement of ovulation in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Hormonal balance regulation
Menstrual cycle disorder improvement
Antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties
Due to these properties, D-chiro-inositol can be used in pharmaceuticals, health products, and dietary supplements with broad development prospects.
Mechanism of Action
DCI may reduce insulin resistance caused by poor isomerization of myo-inositol to chiro-inositol, restoring at least partial insulin sensitivity and glucose processing.
Biological Origin
D-Chiro-inositol is a naturally occurring nutrient in the body, which allows cells to recognize it readily without rejection.
