D-Chiro Inositol

D-Chiro-inositol is one of the nine stereoisomers of inositol (cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol), a six-carbon cyclic polyol belonging to the sugar-alcohol family, supplied by Nustras as a white crystalline powder for use in dietary supplements. It occurs naturally in small amounts in certain plants and foods and differs from the common myo-inositol only in the spatial arrangement of its hydroxyl groups.

It is formulated into dietary supplements in capsule, tablet, powder and sachet form, frequently in combination with myo-inositol, and into functional-food premixes and ready-to-mix beverage powders.

The material is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water. CAS number 87-89-8, molecular formula C6H12O6, molecular weight 180.16. Assay is standardised to specification and determined by HPLC; identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and specific optical rotation, which distinguishes it from the optically inactive myo-inositol, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies D-chiro-inositol in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. D-Chiro-inositol is an accepted supplement ingredient in several markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
