Key Benefits
This supplement from NOW Foods is a form called myo-inositol, which is the most abundant form available of inositol.
Inositol is a form of sugar naturally produced and found in our bodies, and is needed for the development and growth of cells. Inositol is also called vitamin B8, albeit not usually considered a vitamin.
It's a non-essential member of the B-complex family with dietary sources from both animal and plant foods. Inositol is found in all cell membranes, with the highest concentration in the brain and central nervous system. Therefore it plays an important part in our neurotransmitters signalling, which is a function where our neurons communicate with our muscles essentially telling us when to move.
Inositol is also critical for a proper function of insulin and lipid metabolism and has been widely researched specifically for support against metabolic syndromes and the common hormonal condition polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Research suggests that by supplementing with inositol you may manage metabolic risk factors better while improving blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood glucose levels. Similar studies have shown that when suffering from PCOS, which is a common condition for young women, you can improve symptoms by supplementing a combination of inositol with folic acid as this assists with the regulation of blood sugar levels, can reduce blood pressure, and decrease triglyceride levels.
NOW Foods is a family owned company since its start in 1968, and has relentlessly been making the natural supplement and products industry better since. Its mission has always been and is to provide value in their products which empower people to lead healthier lives all around.
