What is it
Inositol is a naturally occurring nutrient found in various forms, the
most common being myo-
inositol.
Inositol is found in phospholipids
which function as cellular mediators of signal transduction, in
metabolic regulation, and growth. Myo-
inositol is one of nine distinct
isomers of
inositol, and the terms are often used interchangeably.
Humans can make
inositol in the body, which they do from glucose.
Healthy Cells
Inositol is a direct precursor of phospholipids which are a major
component of cellular membranes.
Inositol helps to maintain proper
electrical energy and nutrient transfer across the cell membrane. It
also acts as a lipotropic which converts fats into other useful
products.
inositol helps establish healthy cell membranes, which
facilitate nerve impulses.
Usages and
Dosage
Inositol supplements may benefit those with bipolar disorder,
depression, impotence, obsessive-compulsive disorder, lung cancer,
panic disorder, and polycystic ovary syndrome. This supplement could
also be helpful in those with psoriasis who are on lithium medication.
The
inositol dosages used in most studies have been several grams.
Whether smaller amounts of
inositol benefit these conditions is not
clear. Sometimes researchers choose dosages of medicines and
supplements much higher than is required since they wish to elicit a
quick response. Those patients who were givin
inositol only were
said to have felt a mental clarity and focus like never before.
The usual does to start is around 1g a day, to understand ones
tolerance.
Diabetes and
Impotence
This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
included 176 patients with type 2 diabetes. The daily 4 g dose of
inositol plus 400 micrograms of folic acid or placebo was divided and
given in three doses. The present study demonstrates that Myo
inositol
and folic acid combination deserves consideration as therapeutic agent
for preventing and treating erectile dysfunction in diabetic men,
probably by virtue of both their chronic metabolic, acute antioxidant
properties, and nitric oxide protective beneficial effects.
