MZ Inositol is a dietary supplement with an effective dose of inositol – a vitamin-like substance which promotes healthy functioning of the human body.

Inositol is a natural chemical compound synthesised in small amounts in the body, unofficially classified as a vitamin and called vitamin B_8. It is structurally similar to glucose and, interestingly enough, it has also a sweet taste. Its spectrum of action in the body is extremely broad – it is found in all cells and is a precursor to all endogenous mediators (IP₃, DAG).

Improved mental well-being: studies have shown that inositol levels in persons with depression and bipolar disorder are much lower than in healthy individuals. This is also the case in patients with anorexia or bulimia. It seems therefore that this ingredient is critical to maintaining health and mental well-being. It shows antidepressant and anxiolytic properties, helps relieve symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and may reduce the number of panic attacks. The exact mechanism of action is not known. It has been suggested that it may affect the activity of some neurotransmitters (including serotonin and noradrenaline) and have the ability to regulate the expression of dopamine receptor D2 (D2R).

Remedy for PCOS: inositol is often recommended to women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The compound demonstrates the ability to normalise blood androgen levels and is thus extremely effective in reducing symptoms of the disease. It has been observed to restore a regular menstrual cycle, boost fertility, alleviate acne symptoms and help treat excessive body hair.

Regulation of glucose balance: some metabolites of inositol, functioning as intracellular transmitters, are involved in the insulin signal transduction pathway. There is strong evidence that supplementing with inositol contributes to increasing insulin sensitivity and lowering serum glucose levels.

To sum up, MZ Inositol is an easy way to enrich your diet with inositol. Adding it to a supplementation regimen may be beneficial especially to persons with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance or PCOS.
