Myo-inositol is a natural compound that is often classified as a B vitamin, although it is not actually a true vitamin. It is mainly present as a component of cell membranes and plays an essential role in insulin sensitivity and maintaining hormonal balance.

In recent years, it has been shown to be involved in TSH signaling : TSH also activates an inositol-dependent pathway in thyroid cells. This has led to the idea that myo-inositol supplementation may help regulate the thyroid, especially when combined with selenium .

Clinical studies have shown that the combination of myo-inositol and selenium can significantly reduce not only TSH levels but also anti-TPO antibody levels in Hashimoto's patients. This combination may help restore normal thyroid function and improve well-being.

Why is myo-inositol important?

• Supports insulin sensitivity : myo-inositol helps improve insulin sensitivity, which is especially important for those with thyroid problems, who often also face insulin resistance.

• Hormonal balance : helps regulate hormonal processes and can also support thyroid function.

Weight Loss and Myo-Inositol

Myo-inositol improves insulin sensitivity, which can help with weight management, especially if insulin resistance is preventing weight loss. It also helps restore hormonal balance, which plays an important role in metabolism and weight control.
