🧪 Comparison Table: Inositol (Vitamin B8) vs D-Chiro-Inositol

D-Chiro-Inositol (DCI) and Inositol (commonly referred to as Vitamin B8) are related but distinct compounds. Here’s a detailed comparison to clarify their similarities, differences, and individual applications:

Aspect Inositol (Myo-Inositol) D-Chiro-Inositol (DCI)
Common Name Myo-Inositol (often called Vitamin B8, though not a true vitamin) D-Chiro-Inositol (DCI)
Chemical Formula C₆H₁₂O₆ C₆H₁₂O₆ (isomer of inositol)
CAS Number 87-89-8 643-12-9
Structure Type Cyclohexanehexol (1st most common inositol isomer) Stereoisomer of inositol with a different spatial arrangement
Natural Occurrence Abundant in plants, fruits, grains Found in small amounts in the body; synthesized from myo-inositol
Biological Role Cell membrane signaling, nerve transmission, hormone regulation Insulin signal mediator, metabolic and hormonal regulator
Key Applications PCOS, anxiety, depression, fertility, metabolic syndrome PCOS, insulin resistance, glucose metabolism, ovarian function
Dose (typical) 2–4 g/day for PCOS or mood-related support 300–1200 mg/day, often combined with Myo-Inositol in a 40:1 ratio
Synergy Often paired with DCI for synergistic effect in PCOS Acts as the downstream agent in the Myo-Inositol to DCI pathway
Vegan Status Vegan-friendly (plant-derived) Vegan-friendly (fermentation-derived)
Market Status Widely used, well-researched Niche but growing market, especially in women’s health

🌿 Summary

  • Inositol (Myo-Inositol) is the most abundant and primary form of inositol in the body. It plays a broad role in mental health, reproduction, and cellular function.

  • D-Chiro-Inositol is a specific isomer that functions more directly in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism, making it especially valuable in metabolic and hormonal disorders like PCOS.

  • They are often used together in clinical practice, particularly in a 40:1 Myo:DCI ratio, to restore physiological balance and improve ovarian function in PCOS management.
