This OstroVit bag contains 200 grams of \u003cstrong\u003emyo-inositol\u003c\/strong\u003e in powder form, and nothing else. Take one heaped scoop of 1 gram daily and dissolve it in a glass of water or juice. The powder tastes slightly sweet, about half as sweet as sugar, so you will barely notice it in your drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat myo-inositol actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInositol used to be called vitamin B8, but that is not entirely accurate. Your body produces it itself, mainly in your kidneys, from glucose. Chemically, it is a sugar alcohol with a ring-shaped structure of six carbon atoms. There are nine variants that differ slightly in their structure. Myo-inositol is by far the most common form in your body and in your diet. You can find it in citrus fruits, beans, whole grains, and nuts, among other foods. An average Western diet provides about one gram per day. In addition, your body produces several grams of it daily. How much you get from your food varies greatly from person to person. Those who eat a lot of oranges, melon, legumes, and whole-wheat bread will have higher levels. Those who mainly eat processed foods will have lower levels. Supplement manufacturers usually extract myo-inositol from corn or rice, where it occurs naturally bound to phytic acid. After purification, a white, crystalline powder remains—exactly what is in this bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat inositol does in your cells\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder what inositol actually does. In short: it is a building block of your cell walls and part of the signaling system within your cells. Myo-inositol is found in phospholipids (fatty molecules) in the membrane of every cell. When a hormone or signaling substance approaches the outside of a cell, a piece of one of these phospholipids is cut off. That piece, inositol triphosphate, then transmits the message to the inside of the cell. Scientists call this a second messenger. You can compare it to a doorbell: the hormone presses the button, and inositol ensures that the signal is heard inside. Myo-inositol is found in virtually all tissues in your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy powder is more convenient than capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOstroVit recommends 1 gram per day, one heaped scoop of 1 ml. With powder, you do not need capsules. Another advantage of powder is its purity: no capsule shell, no magnesium stearate, and no fillers. Myo-inositol dissolves quickly in cold water and remains stable in hot drinks such as tea. You can also add it to a smoothie or yogurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 200 grams and a daily serving of 1 gram, one bag will last you well over six months. A simple product: pure myo-inositol powder, with no additives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OstroVit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816659407186,"sku":"OstroVit-018","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/inositol-poeder-ostrovit.jpg?v=1790167860","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/inositol-poeder-ostrovit","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
