Q. What is inositol?
Inositol is a nutrient found in fruits, beans, grains, and nuts and is also made by the body. Studies have shown inositol promotes healthy hormone levels, which may support regular menstrual cycles and healthy ovarian function.* Inositol also promotes healthy lipid levels and supports healthy egg quality in certain women trying to conceive.*
Q. How is the Ovasitol supplement different than other inositol supplements?
Ovasitol inositol supplement is the first and only 40:1 inositol supplement that is independently verified for content accuracy and purity through a not-for-profit certification program (NSF® International).
Ovasitol contains 100% pure inositol powder, a combination of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, in the body's naturally occurring ratio of 40 to 1. Recent studies have shown that taking a combination of these two forms, in this ratio, is more beneficial than taking myo-inositol or D-chiro inositol alone.*
Ovasitol contains an unflavored inositol powder, packaged in either convenient, single-serving packets or a canister with a scoop. Each serving provides 2,000 mg of myo-inositol + 50 mg of D-chiro-inositol.
