Designs for Health
Sensitol
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). 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 making it less bioavailable, and it is difficult for the body to utilize it from food. Inositol occurs in nine different forms (called isomers). The MI and DCI isomers are recognized as the most predominant. These isomers play critical roles in human physiology, helping to balance normal hormone signaling, such as insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones (e.g., 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.
ALA is included in this product, as it may help promote cellular sensitivity to insulin, and it helps support the conversion of glucose (primarily from carbohydrates) into cellular energy.
