Unlocking Hormonal Harmony: The Power of Myo-Inositol for PCOS

🌸 Unlocking Hormonal Harmony: The Power of Myo-Inositol for PCOS

Inositol is a naturally occurring compound found in many everyday foods—especially fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Interestingly, organ meats like chicken liver are among the richest sources of inositol. But in today’s modern diets, offal consumption has dramatically declined, meaning many people are missing out on this valuable nutrient. As a result, dietary intake of inositol has decreased, and supplementation is becoming an increasingly important way to support metabolic and hormonal health.

One form of inositol, Myo-Inositol, has gained particular attention for its role in managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Backed by clinical research, Myo-Inositol offers a natural, well-tolerated approach to improving insulin sensitivity, restoring ovulation, and balancing hormones—making it a powerful ally for women navigating the challenges of PCOS.

🔬 Backed by Science: Myo-Inositol and PCOS

Recent studies have shown that Myo-Inositol can significantly improve several key symptoms of PCOS:

• Improved Ovulation & Menstrual Regularity
  Myo-Inositol acts as a second messenger in insulin and FSH signaling, helping to restore ovarian function and support regular cycles.

• Enhanced Insulin Sensitivity
  Insulin resistance is a hallmark of PCOS. Supplementation with Myo-Inositol has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity with minimal gastrointestinal side effects—no bloating, no diarrhoea, and excellent tolerability.

• Hormonal Balance
  Clinical trials have demonstrated reductions in serum testosterone levels, leading to improvements in acne, unwanted hair growth, and emotional wellbeing.

🧪 Myo vs. D-Chiro Inositol: What You Need to Know

There are two main types of inositol used in PCOS support:

• Myo-Inositol

• Plays a key role in insulin signaling and ovarian function

• Often used as the primary form in supplementation

• Can be taken on its own or as part of a blend

• D-Chiro-Inositol

• Supports insulin-mediated reduction of androgens

• Typically used in smaller amounts compared to Myo-Inositol

• Choosing the Right Ratio

• The most commonly recommended blend is 40:1 Myo-Inositol to D-Chiro-Inositol, which reflects the natural ratio found in the body

• Some individuals may benefit from 100% Myo-Inositol, especially when starting out or targeting specific symptoms

• We’re Making It Simple

• We know the dosing and ratios can be confusing

• That’s why we’re offering evidence-based formulations to make it easier for you to choose the right option confidently

⏰ How to Take It

For optimal results, Myo-Inositol is best taken twice daily—morning and night—as it works on a 12-hour cycle. This helps maintain consistent support for insulin signaling and hormonal balance throughout the day.

💊 Can I Take It with Medications?

Myo-Inositol is considered relatively safe to take alongside medications like metformin, which is commonly prescribed for PCOS and insulin resistance. However, if you’re on any medications or have underlying health conditions, we always recommend chatting with your GP before starting any new supplement.

✨ Final Thoughts

Whether you're navigating the challenges of PCOS or simply looking to support your hormonal health, Myo-Inositol offers a science-backed, gentle, and effective option. As we begin supplying this powerful supplement, we’re excited to help more women reclaim balance and vitality—naturally.
