Myo-Inositol: The Hormone-Balancing Hero, Explained

If you've researched natural hormone support, you've met myo-inositol, quietly one of the most studied ingredients in women's health. Here's what it is and why it earns its place in Femme Flourish.

What it is

Myo-inositol is a naturally occurring compound (sometimes grouped with the B vitamins) that acts as a messenger inside your cells, particularly in the signalling pathways for insulin and the reproductive hormones FSH and LH.

Why it matters for hormones

Because it supports healthy insulin signalling, myo-inositol is widely studied for supporting regular ovulation, cycle regularity and ovarian function: which is why it's a go-to for people managing PCOS, irregular cycles or post-pill recovery.

The 40:1 detail

Research favours myo-inositol paired with a small amount of D-chiro-inositol in a 40:1 ratio, the same physiological ratio your body uses. Femme Flourish is formulated to this 40:1 ratio rather than myo-inositol alone.

What to expect

Inositol works gradually. Most people give it 2 to 3 cycles to judge the difference in cycle regularity, skin and mood. It pairs naturally with magnesium, zinc and B6, which is why we combine them in one capsule.

Where to find it

Femme Flourish delivers myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol in the studied 40:1 ratio, alongside magnesium glycinate, zinc, vitamin B6, schisandra and curcumin. Vegan, non-GMO, made in South Africa.
