D-Chiro-Inositol (DCI) is a sugar alcohol
complex that is naturally produced by the body. It is a member of the B
vitamin family (Vitamin B8) and plays an essential role in the pathways
of mitochondria and energy in the cells to generate energy from sugar.
When you eat food, sugar is extracted and absorbed into the blood. When
cells cannot appropriately absorb glucose, it builds up in the blood,
leading to possible health complications and imbalanced glucose levels.*
If the body cannot produce a sufficient
amount of DCI, then the ability to respond to fluctuations in sugar
levels will diminish. DCI may also works as a messenger for serotonin
and dopamine. Both are neurotransmitters the central nervous system uses
to signal positive moods. Individuals with lowered levels of DCI may
feel that their mood is impacted. DCI may also helpful in boosting
autophagy which is an essential part of clearing the debris from cells
and providing better cellular performance.*
DCI is naturally available from certain
foods, but an unbalanced diet due to a hectic schedule or environmental
factors can decrease intake needed for optimal performance. Boost your
D-Chiro-Inositol levels by ordering our exclusive D-Chiro
Inositol supplement.
