Description
Our myo-inositol capsules at Human Performance Hub deliver 900mg of myo-inositol per 1 capsule, promoting brain health, restful sleep as well as mental and emotional wellness. Myo inositol supports overall relaxation and facilitates proper serotonin metabolism, often called the “feel-good neurotransmitter.”
Healthy serotonin metabolism may help support a positive mental outlook, balanced mood, and healthy response to everyday stressors. Therefore, inositol supplements taken during the day may help the body cope with occasional anxious feelings and stressful situations.
On the other hand, myo-inositol capsules taken at night may promote more restful sleep by helping the body relax. In fact, myo-inositol is crucial for overall human health. The highest inositol concentrations are in the brain and central nervous system. In the body, inositol supports cell metabolism and structure, nerve signalling, fat metabolism, hormone health, and blood sugar metabolism. Overall, myo-inositol supplements are hugely versatile in supporting many metabolic functions in the body.
Where Is Myo-Inositol Found?
Dietary sources of inositol are found in animal and plant foods. Myo‐inositol is the most abundant form of inositol, and it is found in fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, and grains. However, the most bioavailable form of inositol comes from lecithins, such as soy and sunflower lecithin. Although the liver and kidneys can create inositol, supplementation may be warranted due to reduced dietary intake, reduced inositol creation or utilisation, or certain medications.
Myo-inositol supplements play a vital role in balancing neurotransmitters (Dopamine, Serotonin, Acetylcholine and Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid). Just like a phone needs a signal to work, neurotransmitters rely on inositol to relay messages between your brain cells.
