Application
- D-chiro-inositol in clinical practice: An extensive review by The Experts Group on Inositol in Basic and Clinical Research presents D-chiro-inositol as a valuable substance in managing conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting its clinical applications and potential benefits in metabolic syndrome management (Dinicola et al., 2024).
- D-chiro-inositol enhancing longevity and antioxidant capacity: A study demonstrates that D-chiro-inositol boosts antioxidant capacity and extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans through the activation of Nrf-2/SKN-1 and FOXO/DAF-16 pathways, suggesting its potential for optimizing dosage in age-related health interventions (Shi et al., 2023).

Women with the polycystic ovary syndrome have insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, possibly because of a deficiency of a D-chiro-inositol-containing phosphoglycan that mediates the action of insulin. We hypothesized that the administration of D-chiro-inositol would replenish stores of the mediator and
