Description

D-chiro-Inositol is an epimer of myo-inositol found in certain mammalian glycosylphosphatidylinositol protein anchors and inositol phosphoglycans possessing insulin-like bioactivity. D-chiro-Inositol is used clinically for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and diabetes mellitus, which can reduce hyperglycemia and ameliorate insulin resistance[1][2][3].

D-chiro-Inositol Use and Manufacturing

Inositol and its phosphates have been used to develop metabolically stable insulin mediators, inhibitors, and regulators of important metabolic functions such as glycolysis. Because of the lack of hydrolytically unstable glycosidic bonds, inositol is very stable to degrading enzymes in the body.
