Myo-inositol
What it is
Myo-inositol is a sugar alcohol involved in insulin signalling and hormonal pathways.
Why it is in ONCE DUSK
It is one of the better researched supplements for hormonal balance in women, and hormonal balance is upstream of a lot of what shows up on skin.
Why this dose
Two grams is a meaningful dose. Much of the research uses 2 g or 4 g daily, often paired with D-chiro-inositol. A sprinkle of inositol on a label is decoration; 2 g is a dose.
Minimum 98% purity.
How it works with the rest of the formula
Myo-inositol is the only ingredient in DUSK working upstream rather than directly. Hormonal balance influences a lot of what eventually shows up on skin, so it sits behind the collagen, ceramides and hyaluronic acid rather than beside them.
What to look for on any label
Two grams is a real dose and much of the research uses 2 g or 4 g, often as a 40:1 blend of myo- and D-chiro-inositol. Below about 1 g you are into decoration. Purity should be stated. If you are being treated for a hormonal condition, this is a doctor conversation rather than a label decision.
If you are being treated for a hormonal condition, this is a conversation to have with your doctor rather than a decision to make from a supplement label.
