10 Benefits of Inositol
Inositol Benefit #3: Metabolic Syndrome
Inositol has also shown to decrease the chances for chronic disease such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome is comprised of many precursors to chronic diseases. Some conditions of metabolic syndrome include excess fat around the stomach, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol and high blood sugar and blood pressure.
One study showed that 2 grams of inositol taken twice daily reduced symptoms of metabolic disease significantly. Some of the symptoms that were significantly improved included blood sugar and blood pressure levels. By the end of the study, around 20% of women no longer fell into the category of metabolic disease.
