Reduce Your Symptoms Naturally

D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is a member of the B vitamin family. Most people naturally synthesize enough DCI as a part of healthy metabolism, however people that don't, can suffer with imbalances that affect their health drastically.

The word "inositol" refers to a family of closely related substances and often refers to the most common available form, myo-inositol.

D-chiro-inositol is a very special member of that family. The body needs DCI when responding to insulin, and DCI is difficult to get from diet. Therefore, the human body has to make DCI. Some people's bodies are not efficient at making DCI, and they can develop symptoms of insulin resistance.

DCI is what is known as a secondary messenger in the insulin signaling process and is considered an insulin sensitizer.

When you eat food, sugar is extracted and goes into your blood. Your pancreas releases insulin in response to the sugar. The insulin tells the cells of your body to either burn the sugar for energy or to store it as fat for later.

As the sugar level goes down, the insulin level goes down as well. Insulin doesn't communicate directly with the cells, however. It communicates through a secondary messenger made out of DCI.

DCI is not abundant in diet. It is scarce in foods, so your body must make it from myo-inositol, which is abundant in many foods.

But, the transformation is a complicated process with many steps that some people are not able to do very well.

As a result, they don't have enough DCI and the sugar doesn't get disposed of quickly.

Men, Women and Children use Chiral Balance’s DCI. Many exciting studies and trial results about D-chiro-inositol (DCI) have been published and are searchable on reputable resources like NCBI and PubMed®.

We cannot name any conditions specifically. Alternative & Integrative Health Practitioners see DCI as a way natural way to address a variety issues.

Yes, D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is a safe and healthy human metabolite. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) defines D-chiro-inositol as a nutritional supplement because it is a natural human metabolite and it is taken orally.

Like all human metabolites, vitamins and minerals included, D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is completely safe and often beneficial when taken in appropriate amounts. DCI is abundant in only a few foods, such as buckwheat ferrinetta, thus making it difficult to get substantial D-chiro-inositol from our diets.

D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is not FDA approved because DCI is an all-natural nutritional supplement. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves drugs as treatments for certain diseases; however, the FDA does not approve nutritional supplements in the same way.

Instead, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) defines whether or not a product is a nutritional supplement.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) states there can be no limits set on the consumption of nutritional supplements. As a result of this legislation, the FDA does not require preapproval prior to the sale of nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and human metabolites such as D-chiro-inositol.

Our recommendation—again, based on major clinical trials—is to take one 600 mg capsule for every 130 pounds of body weight.

That is, if you weigh less than 130 pounds, take one capsule per day; if you weigh over 130 pounds, take take two capsules per day.

It is important to take Chiral Balance DCI on a regular schedule. If you forget or miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as possible and resume your regular schedule the next day.

Try to take your DCI before you eat so it's in your bloodstream to handle the insulin spike from food.

NOTE: This is different from our other supplements, Tri Sense and Saw Palmetto + Milk Thistle are strong herbal supplements that should NOT be taken on an empty stomach.

Yes. The capsule is made of hypromellose, a vegetable material.

There are few foods that contain significant amounts of DCI. This is why your body must make it from myo-inositol.

The foods with the highest content of DCI are buck wheat, soy-lecithin, carob and lentils. Following those are oranges (more concentrated in the skin and pulp and less in the juice), peanuts and beef liver. Finally with a lower content we find buckwheat farinetta and oats.

The amount of these foods you would have to eat to get a therapeutic effect is near impossible on an “average” diet.

Because DCI is so rare in nature, it cannot be easily extracted from plants. Our DCI is made by extracting pinitol (another form of inositol) from carob, then converting the pinitol to DCI.

This is a difficult process that only a few laboratories in the world perform. Corporate interests abandoned DCI when they realized that the high cost of mass production.

We spend almost nothing on advertising and keep our overhead low so we can make DCI available at this dosage. We truly believe in the positive impact DCI has had on people’s lives.

While the expected risk to the child would be negligible, D-chiro-inositol has never been evaluated in a clinical trial for its use or safety during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

It is unknown whether it is safe, and therefore the question of whether to use it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding is best made in conjunction with your physician who can help weigh the benefits and risks.

Whatever benefits you experience from using Chiral Balance D-chiro-inositol will continue as long as you use the supplement as a natural part of healthy lifestyle. Any symptoms Chiral Balance D-chiro-inositol has relieved will likely return if you stop taking the supplement.

DCI is used in several "signaling pathways", which are how the body orchestrates important activities, like the menstrual cycle and ovulation.

DCI is a crucial part of the insulin signaling pathway.

Clinical and anecdotal uses are reporting exciting findings.

Inositol also has antioxidant properties that support brain health, circulatory system health, and other bodily tissues.

Yes! The powder inside is PURE DCI - no filler or expcipients. So it will dissolve and not change the efficacy at all.
