    Inositols are molecules naturally present in the body with a role in various cellular signaling pathways.[1][2][3] The most robust effect of supplementation with inositol is on blood glucose control,[4][5][6][7][8] and this effect may be explained by inositol’s role in insulin signaling and its ability to increase insulin sensitivity.[1][2][3] However, further research is needed to fully understand the mechanism(s) of action.[9][10]
