Myo-Inositol 600mg | 100 vegan capsules | OsaviWat myo inositol precies is Myo inositol is een suikeralcohol, ook wel een polyol genoemd. Je lichaam maakt het zelf aan uit glucose, en het zit ook in granen, peulvruchten, noten en fruit. In de volksmond hoor je soms de naam vitamine B8. Dat is strikt genomen onjuist, want een echte vitamine maak je niet zelf aan. Myo inositol is een bouwsteen van celmembranen en speelt een rol in de communicatie binnen je cellen. Waarom de bijnaam vitamine B8 niet

Wat myo-inositol precies is

Myo-inositol is een suikeralcohol, ook wel een polyol genoemd. Je lichaam maakt het zelf aan uit glucose, en het zit ook in granen, peulvruchten, noten en fruit. In de volksmond hoor je soms de naam vitamine B8. Dat is strikt genomen onjuist, want een echte vitamine maak je niet zelf aan. Myo-inositol is een bouwsteen van celmembranen en speelt een rol in de communicatie binnen je cellen.

Waarom de bijnaam vitamine B8 niet klopt

Even de naamsverwarring uit de weg, want hier lopen veel mensen op vast. Een vitamine is per definitie een stof die je lichaam niet zelf kan maken en die je dus uit voeding moet halen. Myo-inositol valt daar niet onder, omdat je het zelf aanmaakt uit suiker. De bijnaam vitamine B8 is een oude benaming die is blijven hangen, maar wetenschappelijk hoort de stof er niet thuis. Goed om te weten: het blijft dezelfde stof, alleen de etikettering klopt niet. Wie myo-inositol zoekt onder de noemer B8 komt dus bij precies hetzelfde molecuul uit.

Hoe het molecuul werkt als tweede boodschapper

Hier wordt het scheikundig, maar het is simpeler dan het klinkt. Myo-inositol is de voorloper van een groep stofjes die inositolfosfaten heten. Die werken in de cel als tweede boodschapper, in het Engels second messenger. Kort gezegd: een hormoon of receptor geeft een seintje aan de buitenkant van de cel, en de tweede boodschapper draagt dat seintje door naar de binnenkant. In onderzoek is myo-inositol op die manier beschreven bij de signalering van insuline en bij de signalering van FSH in de eierstok. Dit is een beschrijving van hoe het molecuul zich gedraagt, geen belofte over een effect. Er bestaat voor inositol op dit moment geen toegelaten Europese gezondheidsclaim.

Een vaste dosering in een capsule

Elke capsule levert 600 mg myo-inositol, in een capsulewand van HPMC (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) met inuline als vulstof. Inuline is een vezel die je ook in cichorei en prei vindt. De pot bevat 100 capsules en is volledig vegan. Het gemak zit hem in de vorm: je slikt een capsule met water en klaar. Geen poeder afwegen, geen maatschepje, geen smaak in je glas. Voor wie capsules gewend is, is dat een prettige, laagdrempelige manier om met inositol te starten.

Capsule of poeder, een eerlijke vergelijking

Belangrijk om transparant te zijn over de dosering. In wetenschappelijk onderzoek wordt myo-inositol meestal gebruikt in de orde van 2 tot 4 gram per dag. Rond PCOS gaat het in de literatuur vaak om 4 gram per dag, verdeeld over twee keer 2 gram. Deze capsule levert 600 mg per stuk, dus per dag een stuk lager dan die onderzoeksdoseringen. Dat hoeft geen probleem te zijn als je laagdrempelig wilt instappen of inositol als dagelijks supplement wilt proberen. Maar wie bewust richting een onderzoeksmatige hoeveelheid wil, komt met een capsule per dag niet in de buurt. Dan neem je er meer, of kies je voor de poedervorm die zich makkelijker laat opschalen. Het verschil zit hem dus niet in de stof zelf, want die is in poeder en capsule gelijk, maar in gebruiksgemak en doseerflexibiliteit. Een capsule is praktisch en smaakloos, poeder is voordeliger per gram en flexibel te doseren.

Kort samengevat: myo-inositol is geen exotische stof maar een suikeralcohol die je lichaam ook zelf maakt, hier in een vaste dosering van 600 mg per vegan capsule. Wie de scheikunde erachter snapt, ziet meteen waarom de gekozen hoeveelheid en de vorm ertoe doen bij de keuze tussen een capsule en poeder. Bij een gericht doel zoals PCOS overleg je het beste eerst met een arts of dietist.

A Book to Read and Read Again
Format: Hardcover
I finished this book a few days ago and have been obsessing over it in my mind ever since. Hooten Wilson (which is a delightfully fun name) is a brilliant scholar, excellent guide/teacher, and lover of Christ and the written word and all of that shows on every page. This book is a call to look up from our screens and dive deep into the written word, both Scripture and literature. It is equal parts inspiring and practical. The robust and rich writing of the author is still easily accessible. As one who grew up in love with books and reading, I moved to almost exclusively non-fiction in my adult years. This book inspired me to return to the beauty of fiction once again and to see the value of the written word as a way to love God, not just to gather and process information. I will definitely be reading this one again.

Rich Academic Insight
Format: Hardcover
Near the beginning of "Reading for the Love of God," Jessica Hooten Wilson addresses why we should read fiction, responding to arguments in some Christian circles that we should only read the Bible. Other topics that she covers include the difference between using and enjoying books, how reading can help us develop greater virtue, and how we can rightly interpret books through the "trinity" of rightly balancing the text, the author's intent, and our own takeaways, instead of forcing the text to mean whatever we want. She also shares "bookmarks" between chapters about the reading lives of Augustine of Hippo, Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy L. Sayers. These sections are thoughtful and encouraging, and the latter two are my favorite parts of the book. There is a recommended reading list at the end that offers many wonderful selections, but I want to offer one quick warning. She includes the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's "Kindred" in her list for school-age readers, and although she mentions that it's more for the 10-12 age range, it is an adult book. The main character is an adult, and the graphic novel includes vivid on-page depictions of racial violence, attempted rape scenes, and a lot of talk about rape. Some older kids can handle that, but it would terrify others and was never intended for that age group. Reading and the Bible Hooten Wilson emphasizes that enhancing our reading skills through literature will help us better read, understand, and appreciate the Bible. She makes excellent points about how learning to read different literary genres will help with biblical interpretation, and she makes a convincing case for how practicing our interpretive skills and becoming more fluent with metaphor and other literary devices will enhance our experience with the Bible. However, I felt that she sometimes went too far, making it sound like Bible-reading is an activity for the well-educated and well-practiced. God intended the Bible for everyone regardless of their socioeconomic class, abilities, or educational level, and even though reading the Bible badly can have negative consequences, this book focuses more on our own literary skills than the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to us, convict us, and comfort us through Scripture. Hooten Wilson provides excellent next steps for people who want to deepen their relationship with the Bible, but I wished that she had articulated additional vital context around this. Audience This book is highly academic in content and tone, and even though I enjoyed this book and found it very enriching, it is only for serious readers. Hooten Wilson writes about highly abstract concepts in complex ways, and she often uses specialized vocabulary without explaining what she means. She also makes lots of references to monastic practices and obscure literary works that even highly bookish Christians are unlikely to be familiar with. This book shares rich scholarly perspectives, but it is not for reluctant or casual readers, especially since Hooten Wilson only acknowledges the worth of popular-level books in the special section on Dorothy L. Sayers. It disappoints me that Christian books about reading are almost always written at such a lofty level that they are inaccessible to the people who need them most. I read hundreds of books every year, including dozens of academic ones, but I still felt that parts of the book were beyond me. If someone wants to begin getting more serious about reading, I would recommend Karen Swallow Prior's "On Reading Well" as a more accessible alternative with similar themes. My other concern is that Hooten Wilson was always the expert in the anecdotes she shared, never the person learning something new. Only one anecdote bothered me in and of itself, and that is the chapter-opening illustration about a time when she set up an undergrad student for embarrassment to make a point during class. The other anecdotes don't involve power differentials and were perfectly fine, but taken together, they give the impression that the author needs to feel superior. I am sure this was unintentional, but I wish she had given examples of times that she lost an argument and learned something new. Conclusion Overall, I enjoyed "Reading for the Love of God," appreciating Hooten Wilson's unique insights and her scholarly perspective on the spiritual importance of reading. This book is deep and thoughtful, and there are a lot of important messages about reading great books to expand your mind, enhance your understanding of Scripture, and become closer to God. However, this book is so dense and academic that it is only for scholarly readers. I wish that this book could be an on-ramp for people who want to get more serious about reading, but it will probably just make them feel judged, lectured at, and so overwhelmed that they give up. This book has great value for people who inhabit the author's literary world or are so well-read that they can make the leap, but I hope that the she will consider ways to effectively reach popular audiences in the future.

Inspiration and affirmation of the richness of a reading life
Format: Hardcover
I listened to Hooten Wilson give a talk about the book and immediately pre-ordered it. It did not disappoint. I haven’t binge read a book like I did this one since last year with Abolition of Man. It was a delight to learn more about some extraordinary and diverse readers such as Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglas, Dorothy Sayers and others. Hooten Wilson does an excellent job make a case for the ways reading both the Word and literature expands our capacity for living rightly and for reflecting God.

An excellent survey of Christians should read

I love how complicated ideas are presented in a very simple way. This deserves to be read alongside Joshua Hren's How to Read like a Catholic
