NOW Inositol 500mg 100 Veg Capsules, 100 g

***warning- long review but worth it!***So I’ve been taking this supplement for about a month. (35 y.o female)I normally add one capsule to a big bottle of water (with some fruit) before work and drink it throughout the day.There are a few things I’ve noticed.. so firstly my periods are VERY irregular (like I’m talking- I won’t get it for months then when I do it’ll last for a month). Since starting this supplement I got my period in a normal 28 day cycle… like seriously this hasn’t happened to me for 6+ years. Another thing is that I had no idea it was coming. Normally before my period and during I get extreme pain/cramps back pain PMS symptoms.. you name it. I literally got NOTHING. I was in shock I swear.This in itself is absolutely incredible and they’ve got themselves a life long customer.To add to it, I’ve also lost some weight while taking this supplement. About 5-6 lbs in the month I’ve been taking it. I did not start taking it for this reason- it was entirely for my period. This is a great bonus and I’ll take it! Hopefully it’ll continue!I totally recommend it!

So I was diagnosed with BPD, mild OCD, and PTSD and they (the BPD especially) have caused me brain fog, distress, heavy dissociation, and a plethora of other things that really hindered my functioning. I started taking prozac as prescribed by my doctor for these conditions but, unfortunately, while the prozac did work it also made me very suicidal. After a suicide attempt I decided I didn’t want to take it anymore but knew I couldn’t just stop taking the prozac because I needed something to help with my mental illnesses. I did some research and came across inositol and bought these capsules and MY GOODNESS. It’s as if I never stopped using my prozac. I slowly weaned off of it by taking one tablet of inositol with how ever much prozac I was prescribed before slowly lessening my prozac dosage and continuing to take the inositol with it. 1 month and no prozac later and, again, it’s as if I never stopped taking the prescription meds! Highly recommend this! They don’t have a particular flavour so you can have it with any drink and it’ll be fine.

First off, I understand that experiences with this supplement vary for everyone. But personally, I have found this supplement to be perhaps the only supplement I have ever taken that actually made a noticeable difference, and trust me when I say that I am VERY warry of a lot of supplements. In my mind most never work and are all pseudo science mumbo jumbo and have never ever helped me. I have PCOS, as well Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and long has my body been ravaged by both severe menstrual issues and never ending ovarian cyst pain. Currently I take 2 capsules in the morning and 2 at night, but I might go even higher soon to see if it cuts down on sugar cravings. After I started taking it regularly I swear it was as if the cysts weren't even there anymore. Nothing, no intense pelvic pain, no cramps, no spotting, no severe nausea and abdominal pain, no difficulty using the bathroom, absolutely nothing. Also seemed to make it easier for me to lose weight. I couldn't believe it. I even noticed recently that when I ran out and didn't have anymore on hand for a few days, it was like within a few days all the cyst related pain came back. If you have PCOS I do highly recommend you at least try this for 1-2 months. Best dose is 1000-2000mg twice daily. Your either going to see no difference or it will help immensely. Much higher chance of it helping though. And its nice and cheap. Just get it please, that's all you need to know. I personally was able to find multiple very promising research papers on the effectiveness of inositol on PCOS, fertility, and hormone related problems, so that's why I decided to try it. You can just lookup Inositol + PCOS or Inositol + Fertility and locate so many research papers that have been double verified.

Writing this review three + months into religiously taking 4000 mg/day (4 pills in the morning and 4 in the evening...doesn't matter if it's with food or without):If you're struggling with missed periods due to PCOS, please don't hesitate to try this. I'd been working to regulate my cycles with a naturopath for nearly three years before reading about this supplement. While I know it's ultimately best to keep tweaking your diet, stress, sleep etc. to manage insulin resistance (which is the cause of anovulation for many), this was sooo effective for me (I am lean, exercise regularly and mind my PCOS-friendly diet about 70% of the time). They're also about 1/5th of the cost of the supplements I was on from my naturopath.My cycles kept getting longer and longer. One month into taking this (4000 mg/day, EVERY day), I went from a 65 day cycle to a 47 day cycle. Then 37 days the following month, and 33 days this month. I haven't made significant tweaks to my routine other than adding this supplement in.Hope this works as amazingly for you as it has for me!

I've repurchased this probably 5 or 6 times now. I like it, seems to be working for me. I have PCOS and have struggled with dysmenorrhea and I have been having more regular periods. This seems legit, and it comes sealed. It is myo-inositol. I take 4 (500mg) capsules x day (2000mg total).
