08Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CAS number and standard your DCI meets?

D-chiro inositol is CAS 643-12-9 (C₆H₁₂O₆, MW 180.16), assayed at 99.0%–102.0% against the NF12 standard, as white or off-white crystals or crystalline powder.

How is impurity control handled?

Related compounds are controlled by HPLC on a dried basis: total impurities ≤2.0%, with sucrose, pinitol, glucose, fructose and myo-inositol each ≤1.0% and any unknown impurity ≤0.1%. Results are reported on every batch COA.

Do you also supply the 40:1 myo-inositol / DCI blend?

Yes. The 40:1 myo-inositol to D-chiro inositol ratio follows the physiological plasma ratio and is the standard base for PCOS and women's health formulas; we can supply both single ingredients and the pre-blended ratio.
