Diosmin + HesperidinInositol (Myo-Inositol + D-Chiro-Inositol)
CategorySupplementsSupplements
Standard Dose
Timing
Cycle Duration
Evidence LevelStrong (venous insufficiency — prescription in EU)Strong (PCOS, anxiety), Moderate (general metabolic)

Mechanism

Micronized flavonoid fraction that strengthens venous tone, reduces capillary permeability, and improves lymphatic drainage. Inhibits prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis. Used as prescription venotonic in Europe for chronic venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids.

Contraindications

  • None established at standard doses

Mechanism

Secondary messenger in insulin signaling cascade. Myo-inositol improves insulin sensitivity, reduces anxiety (via serotonin receptor modulation), and supports ovarian function. D-chiro-inositol complements by activating glycogen synthesis. 40:1 ratio mimics physiological balance.

Contraindications

  • Bipolar disorder (inositol depletion theory — consult psychiatrist)
