Inositol Treatment for PCOS Should Be Science-Based and Not Arbitrary

Abstract: e aim of this paper is to critically analyze the composition of many inositol-based products currently used to treat Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Several different combinations of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, with and without additional compounds such as micro-and macroelements, vitamins, and alpha-lipoic acid, have been formulated over the years. Such therapeutic proposals do not take various features of inositol stereoisomers into consideration. As an example, it is important to know that D-chiro-… Show more

“…In addition, recently it has been pointed out that, being inositols chemically and structurally similar to glucose, they compete with glucose for intestinal absorption especially if administered during meals [16].

“…В исследованиях последних лет описаны особенности использования различных комбинаций мио-инозитола и D-хиро-инозитола с дополнительными соединениями, такими как микро-и макроэлементы, витамины, α-липоевая кислота, а также и без таких дополнений [33].…”

“…При этом было показано, что лечение D-хиро-инозитолом может быть полезным при введении низких доз, а прогрессирующее увеличение дозы приводит к потере его благоприятного влияния на репродуктивную функцию женщин и может ухудшить качество бластоцист, созданных в процессе ЭКО. Кроме того, в связи с тем, что D-хиро-инозитол является ингибитором ароматазы, при введении больших доз может повышаться уровень андрогенов [33]. Учитывая все вышеизложенное, приходим к выводу, что формы инозитола, используемые при лечении СПКЯ, должны быть тщательно подобраны.…”
