Femisitol is indicated for:
Pharmacology
D-chiro-inositol is extracted by a patented process from the pod of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), which is found mostly in Southern Europe. When the body's peripheral tissue lacks D-chiro-inositol, insulin resistance can develop. That leads to hyperandrogenism in the ovaries, and this in turn results in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
D-chiro-inositol helps regulate the balance between androgen and estrogen by decreasing luteinizing hormone and serum testosterone level. It improves glucose tolerance and reduces circulating insulin. It also reduces oxidative stress on the follicle and decreases total cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
D-chiro-inositol has been clinically proven as an effective treatment for ovarian cyst and for the metabolic disorders associated with PCOS. It helps to improve and regulate normal ovulation after two weeks of administration. It also reduces skin disorders related to hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism, alopecia, acanthosis nigricans and acne. In women who suffer from PCOS, it lowers cardiovascular risk by controlling arterial pressure.
