Euronutra D-chiro-inositol is a naturally occurring substance. It belongs to the group of inositols. They are a class of compounds which consists of nine distinct isomers. Inositols resemble six-member ring simple sugars (i.e. glucose) but are not sugars but cyclic sugar alcohols. Inositols are, like simple sugars, a part of the regular human diet and as shown by the available evidence also non-toxic. Research has shown that DCI has distinct and exciting bioactivity which differentiates it from some other inositols.

- Safety
Humans tolerate DCI well. Long-term DCI ingestion by humans from different plant foods which contain DCI like buckwheat or carob pods has not shown adverse effects. Neither has a higher incidence of negative effects compared to placebo groups been reported from human studies with DCI of several hundred mg per person per day for several weeks. Based on the historical evidence, it can reasonably be concluded that the intake of a reasonable amount of DCI is safe.
