How does Inositol work?
Acts as a second messenger in insulin signalling pathways, improving insulin receptor sensitivity and glucose uptake. In the ovary, inositol is a mediator of FSH signalling, supporting follicle maturation and oocyte quality. Also influences phosphatidylinositol in neuronal membranes, affecting serotonin and dopamine pathways.
