Myo + D-Chiro Inositol with Cofactors
Myo + D-Chiro Inositol with Cofactors is a hormone balance and blood sugar support supplement formulated by Dr. Lynch for women who want to support regular cycles, healthy ovulatory function, fertility, and balanced metabolism. Many inositol supplements provide only myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, but this formula also includes magnesium and vitamin C, two cofactors that help the body continue making and using its own myo-inositol. It provides 2,000 mg of myo-inositol and 50 mg of D-chiro-inositol in the 40:1 ratio used most often in research, using food-sourced, naturally derived ingredients rather than synthetic isolates. It is designed for women dealing with unpredictable cycles, blood sugar swings, stubborn cravings, or difficulty conceiving.†
How It Works
The formula supports the hormone and blood sugar signaling that healthy ovulation and metabolism depend on. Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol work together in the body's natural 40:1 ratio to support insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and the hormone communication involved in ovulation. Because androgen production is closely tied to insulin, supporting healthy insulin signaling may also support concerns such as jawline acne and unwanted hair growth or thinning. Magnesium is the cofactor for the enzyme the body uses to synthesize its own myo-inositol, and vitamin C helps clear methylglyoxal, a byproduct of high insulin that interferes with the body's ability to make and use myo-inositol. Together, these cofactors help the body support its own inositol production instead of relying only on what is in the capsule. Results build gradually with consistent use. Some women notice subtle changes, such as steadier energy and craving support, within the first few weeks. Blood sugar markers may begin responding in 8 to 12 weeks, and cycle regularity support usually takes 3 to 6 months. Skin and hair support are typically the slowest to appear, so a minimum of 3 months of daily use is recommended before judging results.†
Key Ingredients
Myo-Inositol (KeyPura™) is a precision-fermented form of myo-inositol rather than one produced through chemical processing like most inositol on the market. Each serving provides 2,000 mg. Myo-inositol supports healthy insulin signaling and plays a central role in the hormone communication that ovulation depends on, making it the primary active ingredient in the formula.†
D-Chiro-Inositol (Chirositol®) is extracted from carob pods without solvents. Each serving provides 50 mg, which pairs with myo-inositol in the 40:1 ratio that reflects the body's natural balance and is the most studied combination for supporting healthy ovulatory function and hormone balance. D-chiro-inositol supports healthy glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity alongside myo-inositol.†
Magnesium (as Di-Magnesium Malate) (Albion®) is a chelated form of magnesium bound to malic acid. Magnesium is the cofactor for the enzyme the body uses to make its own myo-inositol, and without enough magnesium, that process slows down. Its role in the formula is to support the body's own inositol production rather than relying only on supplemental inositol.†
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) helps clear methylglyoxal, a toxic byproduct associated with high insulin that interferes with the body's ability to make and use myo-inositol. Its role in the formula is to keep that pathway clear so the other ingredients can work effectively.†
Suggested Use
Take 4 capsules daily with food, ideally split as 2 capsules in the morning and 2 in the evening with a meal, or as directed by your health care professional.
How to Store
Keep closed in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.
Suitability
This product is intended for women who want daily, ongoing support for regular cycles, healthy ovulatory function, fertility, and blood sugar balance, including those who are trying to conceive, are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, or are experiencing irregular cycles, blood sugar swings, persistent cravings, stubborn weight, androgen-related skin or hair concerns, or ongoing fatigue and mood changes. Myo-inositol has a strong pregnancy safety record for a supplement, with seven randomized controlled trials supplementing it from the first trimester onward to study its role in supporting healthy blood sugar and blood pressure during pregnancy. The formula is suitable for bariatric, methyl-sensitive, pregnancy, breastfeeding, vegetarian, and vegan needs, and is labeled for ages 4 and up. It can be taken alongside Prenatal Essentials for those who are pregnant or conceiving, with Fish Oil at the same meal to reinforce insulin sensitivity, or with Metabolic Nutrients when blood sugar balance is the primary goal. It may not be necessary for those whose cycles are already regular and whose blood sugar is already stable, and it is not suited to anyone expecting results within days, since benefits build over months of consistent use.†
Cautions & Warnings
Do not use this product if you take lithium, as inositol works on the same signaling pathway and may interfere with it. If you take metformin or another insulin-sensitizing medication, consult your prescriber before use because the mechanisms overlap. If you are pregnant, confirm with your OB before starting, as with any new supplement during pregnancy. If you experience digestive upset, start with 2 capsules daily for the first week before increasing to the full 4; take it with a meal that contains protein or fat rather than on an empty stomach or with carbohydrates alone, and drink enough water throughout the day; if discomfort continues after 10 days at the full dose, reduce back to 2 capsules. If you notice no change after a full 3 months of consistent use, pause and speak with your doctor, as you may need a different type of support.
