A growing body of research demonstrates the potential benefits of the administration of inositol isomers in the treatment of many different disorders, from reproductive to metabolic diseases.
A Clinical Guide to Inositols discusses scientific evidence of inositol-based treatments in different clinical fields to provide clinicians with a practical guide to use inositol supplementation within pathological conditions. Each chapter covers a specific disorder and describes aspects of the application of inositol in clinical practice, discussing the physio-pathologic features of the health condition and scientific evidences of the effects of inositol treatment.This book is a valuable resource to researchers and clinicians looking for a clear understanding of clinical effects of inositol supplementation and a practical guide on inositol-based treatments.
