PCOS 여성의 인슐린 민감도 개선과 심혈관계 지표 개선에 도움을 줄 수 있다

Side effects caused by lithium. Taking inositol by mouth seems to improve psoriasis, a skin condition caused by lithium. But it doesn't seem to help psoriasis in people not taking lithium. Inositol doesn't seem to improve other side effects caused by lithium.

Metabolic syndrome. Taking inositol with or without alpha-lipoic acid seems to improve insulin resistance, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and blood pressure in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome.

A type of anxiety marked by episodes of intense fear (panic disorder). Inositol shows some promise for controlling panic attacks and the fear of public places or open spaces (agoraphobia). One study found that inositol is as effective as a prescription medication. However, larger clinical studies are needed before inositol's effectiveness for panic attacks can be proven.

A hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with cysts (polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS). Inositol seems to be beneficial for PCOS. Taking particular forms of inositol (D-chiro-inositol or myo-inositol) by mouth seems to lower triglyceride and testosterone levels, decrease blood pressure, and improve the function of the ovaries in overweight or obese women with PCOS. Some research also shows that taking the two forms of inositol together improves ovulation better than taking D-chiro-inositol alone. Also, taking this combination seems to improve blood pressure, blood sugar, and bloodinsulin levels better than taking myo-inositol alone.

Preterm birth. Taking inositol with folic acid during pregnancy seems to lower the chance of having a preterm birth when compared with folic acid alone in women who are at a higher chance of developing diabetes during pregnancy. It's unclear if inositol is helpful for preventing preterm birth in women who are not at risk for developing diabetes during pregnancy.
