Inositol improved my mood, gave me more energy and cured my insomnia. It does work!

[fishstix]

Inositol is really great, whether science says it or not. It really works with anxiety and panic.

I have always had irregular periods.. since taking inositol for a few months now.. my last 3 periods have happened exactly at the 28 day mark!

My Doc recommended Inositol for sleep along with Magnesium and Glycine and I'm having the best sleeps of my life

Hi there, my naturopath recommended inositol and Berberine twice daily. In just a few weeks I am noticing a reduction in brain fog, hot flashes, sweet cravings, etc. I’m very happy with my progress.

I’m surprised you don’t have more views! As a health care professionals I think supplements are a missed topic among medicine!

I was perscribed birth control for pcos in my teens. Which lead to weight gain. I then tried metformin which had such severe side effects I couldn't continue to take it. Finally after a lifetime of struggle I found a reccomendation for Myo inositol for pcos. I tell you it worked like a charm! I lost weight and kept it off and my mood improved. I also regained my periods and on a regular basis. I always sing praises about this supplement . IT's amazing!

I was recommended by a gynecologist to take inositol after I went to them for a second opinion because she is a specialist in the area. My regular obgyn had me on metformin for PCOS that she diagnosed me with. I feel way better on inositol versus metformin. I have more energy and overally its been better for me.

I have had T2D for 20 years. Metformin seemed to stop working. A1c was around 8.8. Plus I got tired of side effects of metformin (stomach pain) so stopped taking it in 2020 and substituted berberine. Did well for awhile but by 2023 A1c was back up to 7. Doctor convinced me to take Jardiance. I had terrible yeast infections and cost was prohibitive so I did research and found inositol. I stopped Jardiance, and combined inositol (650 mg 3X day) with berberine (500 mg 3X day). Last A1c was 6.4.

Thanks for your informed and unbiased research. As the Concerto (2023) review points out the doses that were used in those early trials were very large 12-18g, I found it difficult to get these sort of doses into people. Those trials obviously had methodological issues too. That research showing effectiveness of the 40:1 myo-inositol/D-chiro-inositol in PCOS is interesting, as there has always been a bit of a debate around what form seems more effective. I work in mainly in pharmacovigilance now, and one of the pleasing aspects of inositol is that it has almost no side effects at those 2-4g dose, and no known interactions with medications.

[lkmary]

Your presentation is amazing. Thank you. I've never heard of inositol but I'm going to learn more about this supplement.

[JacksonYoung]

Started taking it for the first 3 days and I feel amazing. (Anxiety & OCD)
Healthwise powder branded.

[allynated]

I was diagnosed with PCOS last month and will start Inositol next month. Looking forward on its effects on me

[askrhonnie]

I was waiting for you to say the effectiveness of this supplement is inconclusive. So glad to see the evidence.

[shalaever]

I was bleeding for two months straight. I started taking Insoitol, vit d and magnesium and I stopped bleeding 1 week to the day. I do have POCS.

[Prinren]

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD after a decade of depression and anxiety (no meds, just therapy). I'm ging through titration for the ADHD meds and it can be rough sometimes, so I'm testing out if inositol helps with the anxiety and depression symptoms. We will see! I hope more studies come out!

[bonnie]

I've been taking it off and on for many years. I use it for my iron overload condition (Hemochromatosis) and liver cleanse.

[abigailbogue]

I use the brand called “Standard Process”. The company is 95 years old and is 100% food based. They. Also raise organically all the food the use. I use that brand for all Vit B related supplements. Easy to digest too. 👍

[nancygomez]

Great video! How about for Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s?

[tonyfontana]

I have been taking this supplement for years. I almost never get sick!
