All About D Chiro Inositol and Myo-Inositol benefits for PCOS!

D-Chiro Inositol (DCI):
In one study, 44 overweight women with PCOS were given a daily 1,200mg dose of D-chiro inositol for six to eight weeks. During the course of the study, those who took DCI displayed significant improvements in insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels, as well as a marked decrease in serum testosterone levels. Moreover, 19 of 22 subjects receiving DCI ovulated during the study period, compared to only 6 of 22 in the placebo group.

So the highlights of D-Chiro Inositol are:
Improved Insulin sensitivity
Lower Blood Pressure
Lowered Triglyceride Levels
Decreased Testosterone levels
Likely to induce Ovulation
Also Appears to be Highly effective when taken in combination with Metformin

Myo-Inositol:

Like DCI, it is a key factor in insulin signaling, and serves also as a precursor to DCI in endogenous inositol metabolism. It should then come as no surprise that studies using myoinositol in women with PCOS produced results as promising as those obtained with DCI.

 A Double-blind study used a placebo-controlled investigation where 42 women with PCOS were studied, subjects receiving myo-inositol fared much better when compared to the placebo group, displaying decreases in testosterone, triglycerides, and blood pressure; a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity; and a greatly increased frequency of ovulation.In another study, 20 women with PCOS were given either 2 grams of myo-inositol plus 200 mcg folic acid, or a placebo of 200 mcg folic acid daily. After 12 weeks, the women taking myo-inositol showed improved insulin sensitivity and androgen levels. Strikingly, all the subjects receiving myo-inositol returned to normal menstrual cycles (Genazzani 2008). Another study with Myo-Inositol paired with Folic acid also showed weight loss in the study group along with the other benefits like better skin appearance and improved Hirsutism.

Highlights of Myo-Inositol:

Decreased Testosterone Levels

Lowered Triglyceride Levels

Lowered BloodPressure

Greatly Increased Ovulation

Improved Insulin Sensitivity

Highlights of Myo-Inositol with Folic acid (known as Pregnitude):

Improved insulin sensitivity

Lowered Androgen Levels

Normalized Menstural cycles

Weight loss

improved skin

improved Hirsutism
