... foods containing the highest concentrations of myo-inositol include fruits, beans, grains, and nuts.
May I ask how you arrived at the particular regime above? (Maybe it's in the story but my connection isn't cooperating with it atm!)
And the amounts of the active ingredient/s in the caps you'll be taking (however they list it, grams, mg. IU, etc.)?
The tests lasted 3 months but was there an indication as to whether the inositol should be taken indefinitely, or..?
TIA!!
Oh, in a very brief check it appeared 'Myo-inositol' is the same as inositol; pls. correct if mistaken!
I arrived at the dose by effectively doubling the average daily intake of inositol. I will increase gradually.
I have gastrointestinal issues, so I don't want to overdo it.
I also plan on reading medical journals to see if any suggested prophylactic doses can be found.
Inositol has many other positive benefits, like lowering cholesterol and BP, easing insomnia and some of the previously mentioned mental conditions. Choline is supposed to improve these effects of inositol.
I do not have all of the answers, but I will keep looking.
I usually buy on Amazon since I have Amazon Prime - but iherb.com is supposed to be very good and they have a very LARGE selection and lots of reviews.
Thanks for the post geeker and the link Trish!
Interesting: I'm reading some reviews and some people are saying how relaxing it is and some people are praising it for giving them energy! Seems like taste isn't the only thing that is subjective.

Bingo, exactly the places I was gonna start for the same reasons!
And yes, thanks guys!
It also comes in powder form for mixing into foods or beverages, so maybe that would be most convenient if choosing a high dose.
I really want to try this, but at therapeutic doses. I do have depression/anxiety, high bp, etc. Maybe I'll look into the powder. Thanks for the info.
Geeker you are the man...I'll be getting a bottle tomorrow...Today @2pm marks my one week anniversary without any analogues. Was up to 2.5/3 packs of Marlboro Lights a day. Smoking like a freight train...Haven't touched one since I opened the mailbox to find that Cignot package....Geeker THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO
Janetda, 18 mg is a really large dose. If I were you, I'd run it through my doc. Show him/her the study, at least ask. Especially if you have underlying health issues. Sorry to .... in, but I want you to be safe.
Here's the place I buy different sups from:
Bulk Inositol (Vit. B8) Powder
Forget the caps, put it in a drink to get the required amount. Was checking prices, it does look like iherb and others may have the best prices.

Well, I have been out for a few weeks. Was taking a half tblsp twice daily in juice. Was using it for anxiety/depression along with choline. It did seem to help, particularly in the winter months. After reading this here, I will definitely be ordering more. I think I will bump my dosage up to 12 grams from the 8 grams I was previously taking.
Ok, don't know if the following will behoove much of anything in this case (lest it happens to be that one ends up using a high-ish dose of the inositol, and the powder form doesn't dissolve so great on its own), but I just received a couple of the below for general 'manual' shaking/blending purposes (primary one atm being whey powder), and can't resist ANY opportunity to recommend them!! These puppies work GREAT!!! Got one in both sizes available, 20 and 28 oz:
Sundesa BlenderBottle with BlenderBall
Sundesa BlenderBottle with BlenderBall
I have two of those exact same blender bottles. I liked the first one so much I bought another. Great for pancake batter and omelettes.
