D Chiro Inositol

D-chiro-inositol is a natural isomer of inositol that plays a key role in mediating cellular sensitivity to insulin. By supporting proper insulin function and regulation of glucose within cells, D-chiro-inositol is a beneficial nutrient for individuals wishing to support healthy glucose levels. Upon exposure to insulin, this signal transducer yields two bioactive D-chiro-inositol-containing inositol phosphoglycan (IPG) molecules that help regulate the disposal of glucose within cells. D-chiro-inositol-containing IPG activates glycogen synthase, the enzyme that converts glucose to glycogen for storage, and pyruvate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the oxidation of glucose for energy.
