Description

What is Inositol Powder?

Inositol powder is a vitamin-like substance. It is found in many plants and animals. It can also be made in a laboratory.

Inositol powder is used for diabetic nerve pain, panic disorder, high cholesterol, insomnia, cancer, depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, promoting hair growth, a skin disorder called psoriasis, and treating side effects of medical treatment with lithium.

Bulk inositol powder is also used by mouth for treating conditions associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, including failure to ovulate; high blood pressure; high triglycerides; and high levels of testosterone.

Inositol Powder Benefits

Since inositol powder plays a role in the transmission of chemical messengers in your brain, it can have an impact on mood. Several studies concluded that levels of inositol were low in the brains and cerebral spinal fluid of patients with low mood, leading to additional research into inositol and mental health.1 While research has shown improved mood, it would be something the individual and doctor would have to discuss as a potential treatment option.1

While inositol powder’s role in mental health has been widely researched, some less commonly known potential benefits include metabolic impacts. It has the possibility to help impact the body’s storage of glucose, eliminating fat from the liver.5

Another commonly researched form is called DCI, or D-chiro-inositol.4 DCI acts as an insulin sensitiser, controlling the action of insulin between our cells. Bulk inositol powder is classified as an “insulin sensitising” compound due to its impact on the communication of hormones within the body.
