Inositol is a sugar alcohol that is sweet, like sugar. Inositol used to be considered one of the B vitamins. Our kidneys produce about 2 grams of inositol every day.
Myo-Inositol is commonly used to treat hirsutism, which is body hairiness in women due to androgen dominance. This is similar to the hormone profile of transwomen.
Myo-Inositol increases estrogens, lowers androgen levels, and reduces body hairiness.
D-Chiro-Inositol works oppositely and dramatically reduces estrogens, while increasing the most potent androgens… presumably by preventing the conversion of some androgens to estrogens.
The ratio of Myo-Inositol to D-Chiro-Inositol is predictive of body hairiness in women. For this reason, it is important to only supplement with Myo-Inositol in order to alter this ratio positively.
Typical Myo-Inositol dosage: 5-10 grams per day.
