These are a few tips I would look for before choosing an Inositol supplement . Having worked on pcos and my conversations through many leading manufacturers , doctors
I understand that inositol comes in various grades of purity. You might find low grade quality at very cheap prices or a good quality Inositols produced by a reputable brand at decent price.
The unfortunate part is that none of the brands tell you what purity grade they are using, and some countries there are not even 3rd party quality checks done. Nonethless, hope your find these reccos helpful. Do check out my detailed inositol guide under guide section of my page
1. Purity:
- [ ] Look for a product that is pure inositol, without any added fillers, or artificial ingredients sweeteners , preservatives . Some ingredients commonly added include: added to improve the taste and appearance of the supplement, but they can be toxic.
- [ ] Aaspartame, Maltodextrin or Preservatives like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate which have been associated with a range of health problems, including gut issues, allergies, headaches, migraines, and neurological problems.
2. Dosage: Inositol supplements come in different dosages, the research has shown 40:1 ratio of myo inositol to d Chiro inositol works great , but this can vary from person to person and depends on your health goals as well such as losing weight, or trying to conceive. Also research shows that 4gm of myo inositol is ideal . If you are a lean pcos case you might want to stick with just myo inositol and avoid d chiro
3.Brand reputation: Choose a reputable brand that follows good manufacturing practices and has a proven track record of producing high-quality products.
