Inositol improves insulin sensitivity by enhancing glucose uptake and utilization in cells, particularly benefiting individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. This effect is achieved through improved insulin receptor signaling and GLUT4 translocation.
Inositol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol, can improve insulin sensitivity by enhancing glucose uptake and utilization in cells. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, where cells are less responsive to insulin's signal to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. The mechanism is thought to involve improved insulin receptor signaling and downstream glucose transporter (GLUT4) translocation to the cell membrane.
