Is Chiral Balance D-chiro-inositol FDA approved?
No, D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is not FDA approved. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves drugs as treatments for certain diseases; however, the FDA cannot approve nutritional supplements in the same way. Instead, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) defines whether or not a product is a nutritional supplement. The DSHEA defines D-chiro-inositol (DCI) as a nutritional supplement, and therefore the FDA does not regulate the D-chiro-inositol sold by Chiral Balance.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) states that there can be no limits set on the consumption of nutritional supplements. As a result of this legislation, the FDA has very little control over the sale of nutrional supplements like vitamins, minerals and human metabolites such as D-chiro-inositol. Store-bought inositol is typically 100% myo-inositol.
