1,600 mg of inositol (as myo and D‑chiro) with 100 mg of alpha‑lipoic acid per serving.
• Helps support a healthy response to insulin*
• Supports normal blood sugar metabolism*
• Supports female hormonal balance*
Recommended Use: Take 2 capsules two times per day or as directed by your health‑care practitioner. Note: Best taken on an empty stomach, especially away from meals high in carbohydrates. Inositol absorption is also impaired by compounds in coffee.
Synergistic blend of myo-inositol, D-chiro-inositol, and ALA
The forms of inositol in Sensitol™ may support normal insulin metabolism, thus supporting metabolic and hormonal processes that are influenced by healthy insulin metabolism.* Inositol is also an important factor for balancing female hormones by supporting healthy liver function.* ALA is included in this product, as it may further help promote normal insulin metabolism, and it helps support the conversion of glucose (primarily from carbohydrates) into cellular energy.*

What This Product Is
Sensitol is a synergistic combination of two naturally occurring forms of the important nutrient inositol — myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) — along with alpha-lipoic acid (ALA, 100 mg). This formula is designed to support the metabolic pathways involved in normal insulin function and glucose metabolism.* Sensitol may also promote female hormone balance.*
Inositol occurs naturally in a variety of fruits, grains, and beans, but it is bound to other compounds that make it less bioavailable, and it is difficult for the body to utilize it from food. Inositol occurs in nine different forms, called isomers, of which the MI and DCI isomers are recognized as the most predominant. These isomers act as second messengers inside cells, relaying the signals of hormones such as insulin once those hormones reach the cell surface. Because of this role, they play a critical part in human physiology, helping to balance normal hormone signaling, including insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones such as estrogen.
The forms of inositol in Sensitol may support the body's response to insulin, thus supporting metabolic and hormonal processes that are influenced by healthy insulin signaling.* Inositol is also an important factor for balancing female hormones by supporting healthy liver function, which is the key organ in the detoxification and clearance of excess hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.* Alpha-lipoic acid is included because it may help promote cellular sensitivity to insulin and supports the conversion of glucose, primarily from carbohydrates, into cellular energy.* Each serving provides 1,600 mg of inositol and 100 mg of ALA.
Mechanism of Action
Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro-Inositol for Insulin and Hormone Signaling*
Myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) provide 1,600 mg of total inositol per serving. As intracellular second messengers, these isomers help relay insulin's signal inside the cell, supporting the body's response to insulin and the metabolic and hormonal processes influenced by healthy insulin signaling.* MI and DCI play complementary roles, and both are involved in balancing normal hormone signaling, including insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones.*
Liver Support and Female Hormone Balance*
Inositol is an important factor for balancing female hormones by supporting healthy liver function — the key organ responsible for the detoxification and clearance of excess hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.* By supporting healthy insulin signaling and liver-mediated hormone clearance, the inositol isomers help promote female hormonal balance.*
Alpha-Lipoic Acid for Insulin Sensitivity and Energy*
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA, 100 mg) helps promote cellular sensitivity to insulin and supports the conversion of glucose, primarily from carbohydrates, into cellular energy.* As a cofactor involved in energy metabolism, ALA complements the inositol isomers by providing additional metabolic support for healthy blood sugar metabolism and insulin function.*
Applications
- Women seeking hormonal balance support with inositol*
- Individuals wanting insulin sensitivity and blood sugar metabolism support*
- Those seeking metabolic support for glucose-to-energy conversion*
- Women wanting support for healthy estrogen and testosterone balance*
- Individuals needing comprehensive insulin signaling support with inositol and ALA*
- Those who may not obtain adequate bioavailable inositol from diet alone*

Product Questions
Why are two forms of inositol included?
Myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) are the two most predominant of inositol's nine isomers and play complementary roles in hormone signaling and insulin function. MI and DCI work synergistically to support the body's response to insulin and help balance normal hormone signaling, including insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones.* Including both forms provides more comprehensive metabolic and hormonal support than either isomer alone.*
Why is supplemental inositol useful if it occurs in food?
Although inositol occurs naturally in many fruits, grains, and beans, in food it is bound to other compounds that make it less bioavailable and difficult for the body to utilize. Sensitol supplies inositol in a free, bioavailable form and at a meaningful 1,600 mg serving, making it a practical way to support healthy inositol status for insulin and hormone signaling.*
How does Sensitol support female hormonal balance?
Inositol is an important factor for balancing female hormones by supporting healthy liver function — the key organ in the detoxification and clearance of excess hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.* The MI and DCI isomers help balance normal hormone signaling, supporting metabolic and hormonal processes influenced by healthy insulin signaling, which is closely linked to female hormonal health.*
Who may benefit most from Sensitol?
Women seeking hormonal balance support through inositol and healthy liver function, individuals wanting insulin sensitivity and blood sugar metabolism support, those needing metabolic support for glucose-to-energy conversion with ALA, and anyone seeking comprehensive hormone signaling support with dual-form inositol.*
