This supplement has been a game changer for me I feel better each day and my test results showed it. I have been ovulating again, loosing weight and feeling energized. Inositol is a true blessing
me too, but im worried if stopped it ill gain all the weight back
@@Wadha98 don’t worry sometimes a take months off and everything is Ok but you MUST care your eating
I am taking Mayo Inositol (1 pill per day , is enough? Whats your experience
Which brand inositol you use
@@sheezarani3047 I used double tree on Amazon and lately I been using aswagandha is works great too
I have been taking it for a month but since day one I have felt like a whole construction crew has arrived to my ovaries and they work the whole site on daily basis. My libido came back and without missing not even 1 day I empty all my gut effortlessly. Waaaao. For someone like me the gut cleansing is a huge achievement. Never expected this. ❤
Which company inositol are you taking
Same here I can't eat wheat but with use of it I can digest wheat easily
Assalomu Aleykum
Cycle started 3 days after starting. Sleep has been better and I crave carbs and sugar less. My gut is better as well.
One month on it, first thing i have noticed is it has curbed my sigar cravings and im not late night snacking anymore. I'm floored. Along w Intermittent fasting and high protein diet, i have lost 20 lbs since January.
Wow, sounds amazing!
Inisotol in a complex with folate and chromium immediately stopped my excessive hair loss (female). A wonderful and unexpected outcome. Prob bc of unknown pcos and a recent diagnosis of diabetes.
Can you please name the complex and where to buy it???? Thanks in advance ❤
I have very positive experience from using inositol it make me happier and I I have less food craving 🍫 yes it much better than metphormen when
Why is it making me crave the same way and I realise my sugar level is higher know taking inisitol than taking medformin before
me ive seen very good results in a week, but im worried if i stopped taking them ill gain all the weight back
This seems to be marketed mostly for women. Men tend to shy away from inositol from the studies showing that inositol can lower testosterone in women suffering from pcos. I do not think it affects men the same obviously. I am a man with testosterone levels on the low side. All I can tell you is that inositol seems to give me energy while also making me more aroused. It helps me get In the mood sexually. So I don’t think it’s harmful to a man’s hormone status per se.
Inositol doesnt “lower testosterone” it corrects hormonal imbalances!
It lowers tests in women with high levels and raises it in men with low levels! Thats a misconception people get about inositol!
What dosade you take and when in the time of the day?
I want to take it for insulin sensitivity
@@devontae7262 go for it! With more potassium, b vitamins and sunlgiht in addition to the inositol
Love how he talks to us bit by bit.

What is the importance & function of FSH & LH after menopause? Is it still active in other tissues in the body?
Hey, does anyone know if it decreases the effectiveness of contraception such as the implant…?
Hello Dr Jin, can I take myo-inositol supplement even if I don't have Pcos?
Doc I have a pituitary adenoma. It kills makes my testosterone very low and prolactin high. Can I take this? I’m looking for natural options because all endocrinologists just recommend Cabergoline & TRT. 🙏🏼🥺
Hello, is it correct to take ip6 with htp5 to treat depression, and how much is the daily dose? Thank you
I used Glucosmart (D Chiro Inositol) off and on for years, and loved it, until the price doubled during spicy cough. I bought Ovasitol in 2020 (My o inositol/D ChiroInositol mix-3 mo supply) but stopped using it after a doctor was all “it could make you worse) Just re- started the powder two weeks ago, and my period was almost brag worthy, at 48. I’ll keep using it up, my sugar cravings have been eliminated…
Does anyone know if it can be used for endometriosis?
I just read that Valproic acid (Depakote) causes inositol deficiency. I wish someone had told me that a few years back! By the way- I have experimented with L-Tyrosine, DL-phenylalanine and mucuna pruriens in an attempt to boost dopamine, and none of these supplements had any effect whatsoever. Could an inositol deficiency help to explain this?
My dr. recommended these for perimenopause. What do you think doc?
Is it OK to take this with pink stork, fertility capsules and Maca root as well?
I have a low blood pressure will taking inositol lower it further?
I happened to bring up to my fertility specialist how miserable I was on metformin for pcos & she told me about how I might find a happy medium between metformin and ovasitol (inositol 40:1). Dammit, I've tried lesser doses of metformin ... I'm done with it. I just came here to get an idea for how much inositol sort-of-kind-of 'replaces' which dose of metformin.
how does it differ compared to inositol hexaphosphate?
Question.. can i start taking it on a random day or the day i start is important? for example on the day that the period starts.. like the contraceptives
Get info which you recommend this or Berberine or both
Does anyone here know the impact of IP6 Inostitol on PSA levels?
helo dr.jin what is the best dose for athlets?
How long should a person with PCOS take these suppliments?
Is it a life long activity?
When I used metphormen I had side effects liked weak memory I start forgetting things be careful 🛑I used it to weight loss inastol much better
Inositol reduces ferritin . I have been using it for 3 months and testing every week my levels. 30% down
Ferritin is elevated when you have inflammation. If inflammation is reduced then ferritin is reduced to your actual levels. Inositol reduces inflammation.
@@monteenajones984 But she didn’t say that her ferritin was high. She just said it reduced. No ferritin can indicate low blood storage, which in and of itself causes a lot of problems. I’m coming in already as an iron deficient or some of my ferritin. I’m wondering if taking Inisotol will lower it even more
@@kaoruyamazaki5724How did that work out for you did you ever try it if so did it effect your ferritin
I hard that every inositol that says that on bac of bottle is the form callled myoinosotal amd d chiro is the one men wamt to use that correct they do 2 different things
Thank you for the info. Really good video. I'm thinking to combine low dose Inositol with Berberine.
Do you have pcos??
Using berberine it give me energy and it lower my diabetes.
Did you used both together berberine and inositol ? What’s your thoughts on that ? Base on your experience
What about IP 6 and using it in conjunction with these two?
Family member is taking it for early stage colon cancer, which seems to be accelerating. Dosage is 1 gram per day.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!!
Is there a blood test to score b8 and if so what's the name of the test?
Thanks for your video!
I have been using Inositol for almost 2 months, mainly to regulate my menstrual cycles. I have PCOS and my cycles can go from 32 to 50 days. I typically have fasting glucose at 97-99, and when I started Inositol it dropped to 90 on the first week. Right now I'm a bit concerned because I'm on the 19th day of my cycle and since a couple days ago I have been spotting/bleeding. I don't know if it's ovulation bleeding or if my period came this soon... If someone here has had that please comment. Thanks!
Pregnancy maybe, check yourself.
your body is regulating your hormones now that you have this important vitamin. your body will take time to get on track kind of like the first two years after your menarche.
What dosage did you take?
@@loggicalfun I started with 4g but lowered to 2g
Hi, any updates from u ?
I started taking a Myo-Inositol & D-Chiro Inositol Capsules w/ Choline Inositol supplement for Cycle and Fertility Support and after just 4 days….i was dizzy beyond belief, nauseous and inevitably vomiting. I stopped taking it and 2 days later felt much better.
I’m not sure if it was the 2,000 mg doses or what…but all I know is i felt better after I stopped taking it.
I want to try another brand at a lower dosage but I’m afraid of the same results…
What do those like me do when the results-reaction to the supplement isn’t as good as everyone else’s seems to be?🤔🤷🏽♀️🤔
Hi ,some say that inositol is high in People with dementia and alzheimer...can you please comment on this?
Tank you
I used inositol years ago, why I stopped I don't know, maybe I was a fool, it's great stuff.
Can this be used with Berberine?
Thank you for the content. My A1c is 6.0 I’m trying need to get it back down to 5. Not sure what supplement to choose between Berberine, Inositol or Chromium.
All 3
Nothing stops all 3 from being used, but you should try cutting out sugar, increasing healthy fats and protein, fasting and exercise. Fasting protocols help greatly with sugar and insulin resistance.
@@hooywamd00pe95 since the comment, my A1C Is 5.5! I primarily used Berberine and Chromium. No major changes to my diet but watched my sugars
How it's going my friend?
Does this help someone who isn't overweight?
Im taking only myo inositol not plus chiro inositol, but it have good effect to my body. But is it save to take it during menstruation?
If it increases LH/FSH why do many studies show that it has the effect of lowering testosterone? Is it because it elevates SHBG?
Should you take this if your on blood thinner
🙏
How much do you take for anxiety ?
I know this is an older video…. I’m seeing berberine for some similar reasons…. Could we take both…. And should we take it as a part of our daily routine of supplements, so that we would bump up our system.
Yes and yes.
I am taking the inisitol for insulin resistant but i realise from i start taking it my sugar levels are so so higher than before when i was taking meformin can you state why am having this issue
Does this help menopausal women/complete hysterectomy?
Hi...is there a test to find out if you have a insotol deficiency?
Can you take inositol if your on a blood thinner..?
Started myo-inositol with d-chiro and have been only half a dose and always end up with a headache after?
Hey dr I am hoping to take inositol for my irregular periods… I also have migraines with aura… would it be safe to take inositol considering my migraines?
Im not a DR but since ive been taking ovasitol (1-2 years) I haven't had migraines like a typically do. May not mean anything but....
Ive been taking 2g of myoinositol with folic acid for a month now. Ive veen experiencing excessive thirst, slight dizziness and general tiredness. The positive side,,my period came back and weight loss.
Does anybody have the same experience?
Same here! The thirst is real I've also experienced these .. after a few weeks if taking
after taking it for a few years I have started experiencing these same symptoms im not sure why
Make sure is folate
Folic acid is bad. Use either methyl folate or folinic acid (pay attention to spelling). Dr. Ben Lynch explains why.
Is inositol dangerous for lowering blood count?? Is it 100 safe ??
Is it safe for non pcos women who struggle to keep their hormones high? Within two weeks my estrogen dropped to menopausal level and I’m not sure if it’s related
Yes it regulates your Hormones.
How do you know it did that within two weeks? Did you have blood labs on day 1 and then on day 14?
2:57 - as an alternative or to complement Metformin, what is the suggested dose for myo-inositol?
I would take less than 1500mg per day, maybe 1000mg (500mg in the morning and 500mg in the evening) and eventually level up on 1500mg - 2000mg later
And you can do both, if Metphormen doesn't work for you because you get gastrointestinale issues or it doesn't lower your blood sugar level enough then only take Inositol. If Metphormen isn't strong enough in effect then you also can take Inositol additionally to your Metphormen dosage.
I'm on BC and metformin. Could I take this vitamin concurrently?
Answered my own question... Yes it can be taken with each med but the trio combined is still unanswered.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21417594/
No such thing as "early diabetes." Even prediabetes is controversial. Insulin resistance is a better descriptor.
you said inositol and metformin is ok together, can I use myo inositol and berberine together?
Can i take it while pregnant for gdm?
How does inositol differ from Berberine?
My question
I’ve seen a lot of doctors recommend Inositol instead of Myoinositol with D-chiro. What’s your take?
Inositol
I am 36 y/o female, I recently had a test and have low estrogen, can this increase my low estrogen ?
I'm trying for hashimotos Thank you
Hi, can I ask if this helped you? I am thinking about taking it for my hoshimotos. I didn’t go to sleep at all last night and this is happening more and more.
@@debriddle2 Hi...Yeah my endocrinologist put me on a multiple B and it seems to be helping with energy... still working on it...she also gave me an iron supplement.
Hi can someone tell me
Which type of inositol is more effective to lose weight myo-inositol or d-choro or mixed version for women
Just plain inositol 2 grams every day
Can i eat it during pregnancy?
Doctor , It can be useb by a girl 14 years old with pcos. Thanks
I wish we could cancel out metformin for diabetics 😢. Help us with a good formulation for diabetics without metformin or steroids please
Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, here on CZcams. You can turn the diabetes around.
Bitter gourd, also known as bitter melon.
Alpha-lipoic acid, chromium, vanadium, and berberine
Dr. Sung.. I have PCOS and now diabetic. I have tried inositol many times and I get the same problem... I gain weight - like these fat pouches in my lower hip area. Why is this?
What if a man take myo inositol for ovary what will happen
I started taking inositol 10 days ago and noticed an increase in facial hair and more thickness- could this be temporary or it is a side effect? Many thanks
Which form did you take. Myo or d chrono?
@@hooywamd00pe95 mayo
i’ve read it’s a side effect as it can help alopecia
Ze względu na fakt, iż nie znam języka nie wiem czy autor posta jest kobietą. Bo jeśli taki skutek uboczny to wywołuje u kobiety to niefajnie.Gdyby autor był mężczyzną to proszę o potwierdzenie.
But, he didn’t tell us how to take it, blend it with a liquid, with meals, between meals?
I was told by naturopath to take twice a day and 1/2 hour before each meal. Just started two days ago.
I am looking into inositol for hormone balance and to help boost testosterone production. I am just on the other side of menopause and I want me sex drive back!!! And losing a few pounds would be awesome too!
Ive heard that Inositol helps with insulin resistance. What else can I take that will help?
Chromium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC).
Also, omega-3 to reduce inflammation in combination to te other supplements I listed above. That’s what I’ve been taking to lower my insulin levels. I’m pre-diabetic.
Berberine
Alpha-lipoic acid, chromium, vanadium, and berberine
Hi I have pcos and my sugar is a bit high, still normal but almost over, pls help
Check out L argine
can I take inositol and berberine together?
Yes!
Does inositol also help reduce fatty liver?
yes it does and though there are many articles saying Milk thistle works it never worked for me. I have liver problems from meds. Also NAC works,
Use NAC ( N-acetyl-cysteine) 1,200 mg on an empty stomach
I'm trying for hashimotos
@@theoneandonlypinkypinky8245 I'm a huge believer in NAC for a variety of effects. It is a great supplement, at least for me.
@David Olvey Jr NAC caused me severe fluid retention within 5 days of consuming. Guess, it doesn't suit everyone:(
Is this still helpful for women in menopause ?
My question as well
Does it cause emotional issues cause once I started taking it I feel very emotional I’m taking MYO inositol
