In this video, I want to share with you a little bit about inositol. Inositol is vitamin B8. But, it’s no longer classified as a B vitamin because they found out that your body can make it. But, I believe it’s a very important vitamin.

Your body makes inositol, and it’s most abundant in your brain. It’s actually a sugar alcohol made from glucose. It can help with insulin resistance, blood sugars, and even to curb cravings. In large doses (2000mg twice per day) with a little bit of folate, inositol may help with conditions like ADD, OCD, depression, and problems with binge eating.

The type of inositol you may want to take is called Myo-inositol.

5 benefits of inositol:
1. It can act as a natural anti-depressant, and it may have anti-anxiety effects
2. It’s similar to metformin and may help with PCOS
3. It can help restore the FSH and LH ratios and may help with the menstrual cycle and fertility
4. It can reduce the need for binge eating
5. It can help reduce stress and mood swings

I watched an older video from Dr. Berg in which he mentions the benefits of myoinositol on PCOS. My cycles were very irregular...I would go 4 months with no period at all. After watching the video, I began taking a supplement with a 40:1 ratio. After about 3 weeks my period started. For the following six months I had regular period. Fast forward, I now have a 16 month old toddler😊

I was diagnosed with PCOS in USA. In entire 9-10 years not a single gynecologist or endocrinologist prescribed me inositol, I kept suffering and they kept treating me for thyroid and with birth control pills for pcos to the point that I had headache everyday due to birth control pills intolerance. I took a trip to India and there the doctor gave me inositol. My doctor, there, gave me myo-inositol which had folate too if I remember correctly for PCOS and I felt better my cycles were better. I started feeling, happy, my body, mood was good. Also when I searched I found cantaloupe is a source of inositol that's why in our culture we eat a lot of cantaloupe in summers, everyday. All these problems started when I stopped living eating the way my parents lived, eat.

The more I learn about the human body and the laws that govern it, the more I am astounded at the perfection of the Creator. Can we give Him a thumbs up here?

I've taken inositol for years first to help with the blues then to boost energy after workouts. Working out did not give me energy. It gassed me for the rest of the day. Inositol helped a lot. My wife used to be real up tight about certain things. It helped her to relax and not take things so seriously.

Dr. Eric Berg: Inositol helps grow hair and is good for hair loss. A big one worth mentioning as many people supplement inositol for this reason.

[katieirish]

Back in the 70's when Dr. Atkins came out with the low carb diet, he prescribed; Lecithin 1200mg 3x a day (for choline & inositol) B-6 50mg 2x a day, ACV 1t 3x a day and vitamin-E 400 IU 3x a day. The pounds melted off!

This tastes like icing sugar, and really takes away worries / anxiety
