D-chiro-Inositol (Cat No.: R006638) is a naturally occurring stereoisomer of inositol, a carbocyclic sugar involved in cellular signaling and insulin regulation. It plays a key role in the insulin signaling pathway by acting as a secondary messenger, particularly in tissues like muscle and fat. D-chiro-Inositol has gained attention for its therapeutic potential in managing metabolic disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support hormonal balance and metabolic health.
