## Description

Inositol is a non-essential member of the B-complex family with dietary sources from both animal and plant foods. The form of inositol used in this product is myo-inositol, the most abundant form of this nutrient. Inositol is found in all cell membranes, with the highest concentrations in the brain and central nervous system, where it plays an important role in neurotransmitter signaling.* Inositol is also critical for the proper action of insulin, lipid metabolism, and for the maintenance of cellular calcium balance.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Proven Effective for OCD and Anxiety - Is inositol a wonder drug/supplement? I'm a skeptical soul. I've never believed in alternative medicine or supplements for real medical conditions. However, the efficacy of inositol has more than wowed me. My son has autism and severe OCD - he has severely violent reactions to SSRI medication and we'd run out of options, we were referred to a Psychiatrist for a medication consultation. He suggested Inositol as an alternative to SSRIs. At first I balked, because I simply did not think a supplement could battle a clinically serious condition. The doctor understood my doubts printed out studies for me to look over. One study he showed me proved Inositol to be more effective in just *one week* than Fluvoxamine (SSRI treatment for anxiety disorder) in the treatment of severe anxiety disorders. Other studies show it to be just as effective and sometimes more effective than a slew of medications used to treat OCD. These are legitimate double-blind scientific studies. Added to this there are no serous side effects EVER known to occur and because it's available as a powder, I can mix it into a liquid (my son will not take pills and the insurance company will not pay for liquid medication). After my research I was more than happy to give it a try. However, one thing I've noted looking at reviews here and at other sites is the importance of dosage. People are dosing themselves all over the scale, but mostly under-dosing . There is no help on the side of the bottle to dose for mental health issues and you have to search out the information. The doses for psychiatric conditions is very HIGH and would have scared me had I not been assured by the psychiatrist that these high doses are necessary for treatment and absolutely safe. Inositol is water-soluble - which means whatever your body does not use it discards - it is not stored in the body. Dosing Guide: OCD: 18 grams a day (split 2-3 times per day) PANIC DISORDER and ANXIETY: 12-18 grams per day (split 2-3 times per day) WARNING: Do NOT take Inositol if you suffer from bipolar disorder - it is known to increase episodic behavior at high doses. (Source: UW Integrative Medicine school of medicine and public health) (desertcart is always a little tetchy about hyperlinks in reviews but search University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine Supplement Sampler for more info) NOW's Inositol powder contains 730 MILIgrams per 1/4 teaspoon. .73mg inositol x 8 (1/4 tsp doses) = 5.84 Grams (roughly 6 Grams) 1/4 tsp x 4 = 1 full teaspoon So, 2 teaspoons will roughly equal 6 Grams. If treating for OCD take 2 teaspoons Inositol 3 times daily (6 Grams x 3 doses = 18G) If treating for Anxiety take 2 teaspoons Inositol 2 times daily. (6 Grams x 2 doses = 12G) Make sure to use TEASPOONS not tablespoons as your measurement. Take it regularly on a schedule to achieve maximum efficacy and treat it the same as you would a prescribed medication. Common side effects are upset stomach when first taking, should stop after first few weeks, headache, and fatigue. Some people may prefer starting with a smaller dose and titrating up over the course of a few weeks (though we started out on maximum dose and only encountered minor stomach upset and no other side effects). And as with any supplement, check with your doctor or mental health professional. Search around for the best price Do your own research and reach your own conclusions. Highly Recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it take to see some effect?**
A: If you're asking about effect on mood, it likely depends on the person. If you know anything about how serotonin works and how SSRIs work, you know that it can take weeks to achieve that happy balance after it's been 'unbalanced'. I thought I could tell a difference after 3-4 weeks, but I also increased to larger servings. I was using some information I found on the internet specifically for Inositol and depression/anxiety.

**Q: There are many types of inositols with different effects on cellular functions. Does your product contain myo-inositol or scyllo-inositol?**
A: NOW's label indicates myo-inositol.

**Q: Is this the same as IP-6?**
A: There are many forms of inositol. IP-6 is a form of inositol often called inositol hexaphosphate. The NOW product is myo-inositol. There is some evidence that the two forms of inositol each has positive effects,  and it may be even more beneficial to take both at the same time. You can get the inositol hexaphosphate or IP-6 in powdered form from Bulk Supplements.  NOW carries only the myo-inositol.

**Q: Is there a separate safety seal under the cap that must be removed, thereby adding another layer of protection and airtightness?**
A: Yes, there is a foil seal under the cap.

Good quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality, high potency, great price!
*by M***C on May 5, 2017*

This is the most affordable, high potency, and high quality version of Inositol that I have been able to find thus far. If you need to take high doses of Inositol, you can't find it in a capsule in the US at this time (research has been done using a product that offers it in a more concentrated gelatinized form that is unavailable in the US). I recommend this product to my patients who suffer from a wide range of issues, including, PCOS, endocrine disruption (hypothyroid, etc.), miscarriages, hair loss, constipation, anxiety, OCD, etc. The challenge is that it takes at least a month if not two, of regular use to see a difference, but if you stick with it, you will see improvement of said issues. The dosage noted on the bottle is not enough to achieve full remission of all the above mentioned symptoms, but will definitely help with chronic constipation and PCOS (you may want to just take an oral capsule for lower doses). Consult with an integrative or functional medicine practitioner for more information on higher dosing, but generally, you need to progress VERY SLOWLY as you increase your dose to the required 4-6 tsp/day for anxiety, depression, and OCD. It can take over a month to achieve these higher levels as Inositol can cause diarrhea if you move to quickly! Many of my patients add it to a water bottle and sip from it throughout the day in order to avoid intestinal issues at the higher doses. You will need to work with your provider to see what works best for you. For those who need it, and have the patience to stick with it, this product can be a gift!
