Night Balance Inositol

Bedtime powder with inositol, resistant potato starch, chromium, zinc, and copper to support steady overnight glucose and restful sleep.

What it is

Night Balance Inositol is a bedtime powder that combines a 40:1 blend of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol with resistant potato starch (Solnul®), niacin-bound chromium (ChromeMate®), and Albion® chelated zinc and copper. The idea is to pair the inositols and chromium, which take part in normal insulin signaling and carbohydrate metabolism, with a slow-fermenting prebiotic starch that releases energy gradually through the night. It is flavored with lemon juice powder, sweetened with stevia (rebaudioside M), and mixes into water or juice.

Who it's for

Inositol and chromium support healthy glucose metabolism and normal insulin function; zinc and copper are cofactors in neurotransmitter and hormone metabolism; resistant starch feeds gut bacteria that take part in the gut-brain axis. Night Balance is for a child or adult whose practitioner wants overnight glucose metabolism supported as part of a sleep plan, and who wants a metabolic approach rather than a sedating one. The powder format suits people who won't swallow capsules.

Format and how to take

The label sets no time of day; the product write-up suggests 30 to 40 minutes before bedtime. The label gives no separate children's dose, so ask your practitioner about use for children.

Precautions

From the label: if you are pregnant or nursing, consult your physician before taking this product. Some individuals may not tolerate or may be allergic to the ingredients used; read the ingredient panel before use, and stop and consult your physician if you have a negative reaction. The container holds a desiccant; do not eat it. Keep the container tightly closed, store at room temperature, and keep out of reach of children.
