Inositol

Inositol is found naturally in the body, yet many Australians don’t get enough from food alone. Classified as a sugar alcohol, it plays a central role in cell signalling, insulin function, and neurotransmitter activity. The most researched form is myo-inositol, which makes up the majority of inositol found in human tissue and has the strongest clinical backing.

Myo-inositol works by improving the sensitivity of insulin receptors and supporting the signalling pathways linked to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Research suggests it may support hormonal balance, ovarian function, and regular menstrual cycles. Australian practitioners commonly recommend it for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), where insulin signalling is often disrupted.

The benefits of inositol extend beyond reproductive health. Studies indicate it may support mood regulation by influencing serotonin pathways, and some research points to potential benefits for anxiety and repetitive thought patterns. Inositol powder is a popular format due to its flexible dosing and mild taste.

Women managing PCOS or hormonal imbalances, those looking to support mood and mental clarity, and people wanting to improve insulin sensitivity commonly reach for inositol supplements. It pairs well with folate and B vitamins, and is generally well tolerated at the doses used in research.
