What the research supports
Two scoops a day give 4 g of myo-inositol with 100 mg of D-chiro-inositol, the ratio most studies use, plus a folate and B12. Unflavoured, 30 day tub.
Studies use 4 g of myo-inositol a day.
- Cycle regularity (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Inositols act inside the signalling system cells use to respond to insulin, which also affects ovulation. At 4 g a day myo-inositol improved cycle regularity and ovulation rates against placebo across several trials.
- Blood sugar (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Myo-inositol helps cells respond properly to insulin's signal to take up glucose from the bloodstream. Trials at 2 to 4 g daily show modest improvement in fasting glucose and insulin measures over 12 weeks or more.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- irregular or unpredictable cycles
- 4 g of myo-inositol daily is the amount used in the trials that measured a return to more regular ovulatory cycles over three to six months.
- someone who could become pregnant
- two scoops give 400 mcg of folate as already methylated 5-MTHF, which is the daily amount recommended before and during early pregnancy.
- you would rather not swallow eight capsules
- 4 g of inositol is a lot of powder by capsule standards, and a faintly sweet unflavoured powder in 250 mL of water is the practical way to take it.
- working on how your body handles carbohydrate
- the inositols act inside the insulin signalling pathway rather than on appetite, so what changes shows up in measurements rather than as a feeling.
Look elsewhere if
- anyone wanting a complete prenatal
- a proper prenatal formula. There is no iron, iodine, DHA, vitamin D or calcium here, and folate plus B12 is only two lines of a prenatal panel.
- you want results inside a month
- nothing in this works that fast. Trials read out at 12 to 24 weeks, so plan on three cycles before deciding, or spend the money elsewhere.
- you plan to use one scoop a day to stretch the tub
- buy a plain myo-inositol powder and take the full 4 g. One scoop is 2 g, half the studied amount of the only ingredient here carrying the evidence.
What to expect
Nothing perceptible in the first few weeks. Cycle changes in the published work appeared over 12 to 24 weeks, so give it three cycles before judging. A few people get loose stools or mild nausea in the first days at 4 g, which usually settles if the two scoops are kept well apart.
How it compares
- Compared with plain myo-inositol powder
- adds D-chiro-inositol at the 40 to 1 proportion the combination work used, plus 400 mcg of methylfolate a day you would otherwise buy separately. The tradeoff: plain myo-inositol is considerably cheaper per gram, and the trials on myo-inositol alone are the larger body of evidence.
- Compared with a high dose D-chiro-inositol product
- keeps D-chiro at 100 mg a day behind 4 g of myo-inositol instead of making it the headline ingredient. The tradeoff: if you specifically wanted a high D-chiro product, this is not it. Work on raising the D-chiro share has been unfavourable enough that 40 to 1 became the standard.
