Definition

An oral supplement composed of two inositol isomers, myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, that may potentially be used to increase insulin sensitivity and improve reproductive function. Upon oral administration, myo-inositol/D-chiro-inositol supplement may increase insulin sensitivity, improve glucose tolerance and improve reproductive function. Inositol is involved in various signal transduction pathways, including the pathways of insulin and gonadotropins.
