Is Chiral Balance D-chiro-inositol safe and natural? ARTICLE # 5 ADDED ON 15th Jun,2009 URL http://www.chiralbalance.com/faq/article/Is_DCI_safe_and_natural.htm

Yes, D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is a safe and healthy human metabolite. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) defines D-chiro-inositol as a nutritional supplement, because it is a natural human metabolite and it is taken orally. Like all human metabolites, vitamins and minerals included, D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is completely safe and often beneficial when taken in reasonable amounts. DCI is abundant in only a few foods, such as buckwheat ferrinetta, which means getting D-chiro-inositol from our diets is difficult. Chiral Balance sells D-chiro-inositol (DCI) extracted from carob and soy husks and then purified to pharmaceutical grade.
