I'm not sure if I will be of any help, but since no one else is speaking up -- I'll give it a try.
I checked a few of the major American supplement distributors and did not find "D-Chiro-Inositol" specifically. I did find "D-Chiro-Inositol" sold by a company, I believe, in New Zealand.
Many companies sell inositol and choline. I don't know how related they are to "D-Chiro-Inositol". In fact, Dr Atkins, in his Vita Nutrients book (at the bottom of page 81):
Quote:
inositol, choline, and methionine are integrally involved in how the liver handles fats, giving rise to their scientific nickname of lipotropic, or fat-burning, nutrients. For a number of overweight people whose biggest obstacle to weight loss is a reluctant metabolism, supplements of the nutrient trio can trigger their bodies to burn off the excess fat.

I would recommend that you take a women's "mega" multivitamin, omega 3 fatty acids, chromium, and then try this inositol, choline, methionine stack. Couple that with low carb diet and exercise -- I would think you would see dramatic health improvement.
