Functional Ingredient

Inositol

Myo-inositol is the most common biological form of inositol. It forms part of phosphatidylinositol molecules that help cells transmit and respond to internal signals.

It contributes to normal cell-signalling processes and complements balanced metabolic wellness formulations.

In everyday life, Inositol supports the cell-signalling pathways that help your body respond to everyday metabolic and hormonal messages.

Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation.

Ingredient overview

What it is

Myo-inositol is the most common biological form of inositol. It forms part of phosphatidylinositol molecules that help cells transmit and respond to internal signals.

  • Scientific identity: Inositol; dominant isomer: Myo-inositol, of nine stereoisomers.
  • How it works: Made and absorbed: The body produces several grams a day, and dietary inositol adds to that pool. Predominantly myo-inositol: Of nine possible arrangements, one dominates biology and is the form supplied.
  • Primary function: It contributes to normal cell-signalling processes and complements balanced metabolic wellness formulations.
  • What it supports: Inositol supports the cell-signalling pathways that help your body respond to everyday metabolic and hormonal messages.
  • Important consideration: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation.

Formulation rationale

Why we use it

CARPEDIEM selected Inositol for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

  • Formulation purpose: It contributes to normal cell-signalling processes and complements balanced metabolic wellness formulations.
  • Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM MultiMen.
  • Works alongside: Inositol complements Chromium to support a more complete functional-wellness formulation.
  • Meaningful contribution: Inositol supports the cell-signalling pathways that help your body respond to everyday metabolic and hormonal messages. Provides myo-inositol, the most common biologically active inositol form.
  • Quality and scientific context: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
