Inositols are vitamin-like substances involved in various metabolic pathways. The body can synthesize inositols, but they’re also present in small amounts in foods like fruits, beans, grains, and nuts. Research shows that MI is the most important inositol. It also appears to be the most common. MI is essential for female fertility because it plays a role in follicular maturation, fertilization, implantation, and zygote development. *
Several studies suggest that MI effectively reduces insulin resistance and regulates menstrual periods in people with PCOS. *
