Inositol

Compare every Inositol product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.

Vitamin-like compound supporting insulin signalling and mood

We rank Inositol by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Inositol is a compound that behaves similarly to a vitamin. It is a sugar alcohol, which is a type of carbohydrate that the body uses to help cells communicate with each other.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to support insulin signalling, which is the process the body uses to manage blood sugar levels. It is also used to help support a stable mood.

How it's made

The supplement is produced commercially through a process called fermentation. This involves using specific microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, to break down raw materials into the final powder form.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the fermentation process required for manufacturing is more complex than simple extraction, but the raw materials used are widely available.
