Inositol supports brain wellness, restful sleep, calm nerves, and female hormonal health.  Especially beneficial for supporting mood stability and for supporting normal ovarian function.  An easy-to-take, tasteless powder. ‡

Inositol is one of the most versatile nutrients for promoting positive and relaxed mood, brain wellness and sound sleep. It also is one of the most vital nutrients for enhancing female hormonal health through its role in supporting optimal liver function. It plays a vital role by helping to maintain healthy serotonin metabolism, and by so doing helps support many conditions that involve poor serotonin function, including depression, agoraphobia, panic disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Inositol also helps prevent and treat pediatric respiratory distress syndrome.

Three Recent studies have also looked into its pain relieving ability. Low levels of inositol occur in patients with diabetes, renal failure, and multiple sclerosis, suggesting inositol may be of benefit.

Possible Benefits

1. PMS, PCOS, Fibroids & Fibrocystic Breast Disease: Inositol works in partnership with phosphatidyl choline (PC) to help the liver metabolize hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. By so doing, inositol helps alleviate PMS, fibrocystic breast disease, fibroid tumors, and a range of other health problems caused by female hormonal imbalance. Inositol and PC are must supplements for anyone taking female hormone replacement therapy.

2. Sleep Taking inositol naturally helps the body achieve a more relaxed state. Inositol is prized by many for its ability to promote a more restful sleep. Taken during the day, inositol can help relieve anxiety and promote a more eventempered mood. Inositol should be taken directly before bedtime to improve sleep quality.

3. Depression Depressed patients have lower levels of inositol in their brain. Research shows that taking 6-12 grams of inositol per day for four weeks significantly improves mood and reduces the severity of depression.

4. Inositol can be safely used along with antidepressant medications.
