• Available in capsules and powder for various dosages and therapeutic effects

Inositol (or myo-inositol) is a vitamin B-like molecule often used to help regulate blood sugar, manage polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and alleviate symptoms of mood disorders such as depression or anxiety. Inositol is essential for multiple brain signaling systems, as it contributes to improving the sensitivity of various receptors, thereby enhancing the transmission of messages from various hormones and neurotransmitters (brain messengers). This facilitates the action of hormones like insulin and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine for better efficacy.

Studies have suggested that high doses of inositol can treat symptoms of behavioral and compulsive disorders, particularly those related to mood imbalances. Recent research also confirms the role of low doses of inositol in cell defense, normal cell growth and differentiation, especially in combination with I-P-6 (phytate or inositol hexaphosphate).

People suffering from poor blood sugar regulation, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or mood disorders can benefit from AOR's Inositol. This product can also be used preventively by individuals concerned with healthy cell growth and differentiation.

It is a B vitamin that has recently been praised for its ability to promote good mood balance, normal cell growth, and differentiation. AOR offers inositol in capsules and powder, as different doses of inositol have different therapeutic effects. For individuals struggling with mood disorders, inositol powder is a new orthomolecular key that breaks the chains binding their minds.

As promising as the results of high-dose inositol studies may be, inositol powder is not a panacea for mental illnesses. Inositol is of no benefit in cases of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, anergic schizophrenics, people suffering from Alzheimer's disease, or autistic children. In fact, high-dose inositol worsens attention deficit disorder in children. It appears that inositol is an effective nutritional support for people with disorders that usually respond to SSRI medications, and for those who do not. This could also provide a plausible explanation for trial results that found that combining inositol supplementation with current SSRI use does not lead to additional improvement in people suffering from depression, partially reactive compulsive disorders, or depression immune to the effects of SSRIs themselves.
