Best Naturals Inositol 1000 mg 60 Tablets

Product Information

Niacin is present in a wide variety of foods. Many animal-based foods—including poultry, beef, and fish—provide about 5–10 mg niacin per serving, primarily in the highly bioavailable forms of NAD and NADP [ 3]. Plant-based foods, such as nuts, legumes, and grains, provide about 2–5 mg niacin per serving, mainly as nicotinic acid. In some grain products, however, naturally present niacin is largely bound to polysaccharides and glycopeptides that make it only about 30% bioavailable [ 3, 4]. Many breads, cereals, and infant formulas in the United States and many other countries contain added niacin. Niacin that is added to enriched and fortified foods is in its free form and therefore highly bioavailable [ 2]. This is one of the reasons I prefer Theralogix preconception vitamins. 12. Safety Guidelines for Inositol Supplementation Many vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and dairy products provide some niacin. Enriched grains are also a source of niacin.

[ PubMed abstract]Nicotinic acid in supplemental amounts beyond nutritional needs can cause skin flushing, so some formulations are manufactured and labeled as prolonged, sustained, extended, or timed release to minimize this unpleasant side effect. Nicotinamide does not produce skin flushing because of its slightly different chemical structure [ 2, 12]. Niacin supplements are also available in the form of inositol hexanicotinate, and these supplements are frequently labeled as being flush free because they do not cause flushing. The absorption of niacin from inositol hexanicotinate varies widely but on average is 30% lower than from nicotinic acid or nicotinamide, which are almost completely absorbed [ 12-14]. Two niacin-like compounds, nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN; also referred to as β-NMN), are also available as dietary supplements, but are not marketed or labeled as sources of niacin [ 11]. However, FDA ruled in November 2022 that NMN may not be legally marketed as a dietary supplement because it has been authorized for investigation by FDA as a new drug [ 15].

A review study concluded that 2g/day MI twice a day is the best MI regimen to improve metabolic pathways. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that causes hormone imbalances in women, which may lead to irregular periods and infertility. Weight gain, high blood sugar and undesirable cholesterol and triglyceride levels are also concerns with PCOS ( 16). R.S., Jr. and B.

Summing it All Up

For polycystic ovary syndrome: 1.2 grams of DCI once daily, or 2 grams of MYO and 200 mcg of folic acid twice daily for 6 months ( 17, 20).

Clinical studies suggest inositol supplements may be beneficial for those with metabolic syndrome ( 21, 22). D-chiro-inositol alone should be approached more cautiously. High dosages may adversely affect egg quality [ 61].

It has been revealed that, dietary MI supplementation in vivo is beneficially associated with lipid metabolism, bone formation, skeletal muscle metabolism, reproduction, nerve function, and brain actions.There are two main forms of inositol used in supplements, namely myo-inositol (MYO) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI).
