Product Description
Myo-inositol as a natural insulin sensitizer Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas into the bloodstream to help cells utilize sugar (glucose) optimally, which is their primary energy source. When insulin resistance occurs, cells in the muscles, fat tissues, and liver do not respond properly to insulin, and glucose cannot enter the cells, leading to starvation. In insulin-resistant individuals, both blood sugar and insulin levels are usually high. The consequences and symptoms of insulin resistance in men include overweight, abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, low sperm count, infertility, erectile dysfunction, decreased sexual desire, impotence. In women, the consequences and symptoms of insulin resistance include disrupted hormone balance, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menstrual disorders, infertility, estrogen dominance, underactive thyroid, high blood pressure, excessive hair growth, hair loss, dry skin, weight gain, fatigue. It is important to note that insulin resistance is essentially the precursor to diabetes: without treatment and lifestyle changes, it can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes. The goal of lifestyle management is to normalize insulin and blood sugar levels and increase cell sensitivity to insulin. The two main ways to achieve this are through dietary changes and regular exercise: Diet: The most important aspect of nutrition is to consider the so-called glycemic index (GI). High GI carbohydrates are rapidly absorbed, causing a sudden and significant increase in blood sugar levels. Examples include sugar, refined flours, foods made from potatoes, and corn flour. Consumption of these should be avoided. On the other hand, a low GI means that carbohydrates are slowly absorbed, gradually raising blood sugar levels, not prompting the body to produce urgent insulin, and providing a sense of fullness for a longer period. Examples of low GI foods are high-fiber foods, whole grains, and starch-free vegetables. Exercise: Research shows that regular physical activity can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 58% and is extremely effective in treating insulin resistance. Goal: a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio exercise per week, with no more than 48-hour intervals, in minimum 30-minute sessions. Additionally, at least 2 sessions of 30-minute resistance training (exercises using free weights or resistance bands) per week. +Supplements: Myo-inositol can also be beneficial as it acts as an insulin sensitizer in the human body, contributing to the proper utilization of the insulin hormone. In recent years, several studies have shown that myo-inositol can improve the insulin recognition capacity of cells, thereby normalizing blood sugar levels. The role of myo-inositol in the proper functioning of the nervous system Inositol is an important component of nerve impulse transmission, as all major neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and GABA) require inositol to transmit messages from one nerve cell to another. Inositol is therefore a crucial element in healthy brain function, normal nervous system operation, emotional and mental well-being, and good mood.
