Micro Ingredients Pure Inositol Powder, 1kg (2.2lbs)

This is the most cost efficient package out there for myo-inositol. Many inositol supplements catered towards PCOS women are 20+ dollars for a month's worth of inositol; but this pack at 23 dollars is lasting me a year and more due to the sheer size. It's really turned my life around in many ways; I have more energy through the day to keep working and keep focused, I have enough energy to keep exercising and not go through a sugar drop that tires me out easily during strenuous activities. On days when I forget, I feel the effects immediately - I have far more sugar cravings throughout the day, I am unable to keep exercising without feeling like crap, and so on. Would seriously recommend for dealing with PCOS. You can eat it straight which is what I usually do, or add it to smoothies/drinks/milk/overnight oats/so on. The zipper tends to wear out over time though, so I'd recommend scooping it out into a different container and using that for your daily use.

I have not been diagnosed with pcos, my hormone levels are in the normal range, progesterone in the lower normal range. No hx of infertility (I have two children, in my mid 20s).Regular periods but unexplained hirsuitism. I do not have a blood sugar issue or anything other issue but my thyroid tsh levels do fluctuate towards the hyper end. Just wanted to paint a picture. I’ve been taking it for two and half weeks daily. I take one scoop a day. Significant decrease in mood swings and irritability, basically non-existent. I started this right after I finished ovulating, my period came exactly as expected. I did notice my period ended a bit smoother, usually the last day drags a bit. The abnormal hair growth seems to be decreasing or rather falling off and not growing back. I’m a lot less bloated after each meal, which was an unexpected surprise. Overall improved mood. I had some hormonal acne here and there which has since disappeared. Anxiety wasn’t my primary issue and neither was sleeping. No side effects that I am currently aware of. I’ll update on this update in a couple months.

I bought this almost a year ago and never thought to review this but I hope it helps! I finally started taking this consistently for about a month, one teaspoon in the morning and one teaspoon at night. I just dump it in my mouth and take a swig of water to wash it down. When I was taking it inconsistently, I added a teaspoon to a jug of water and sipped it through the day which was actually less convenient/quick for me. It tastes really good, like plain sugar, and the bag is huge enough and cheaper than all other alternatives to last quite some time. I store it in a sealed bag because its own seal stops working after awhile because powder gets into it. Since beginning this, I sleep like a baby! In fact, for the first couple weeks it made me a little too sleepy in the morning so I cut that dose until my tolerance built up. I’ve had hirsuitism my whole life and I just noticed that my chest hair growth has completely slowed! I would get stubble the next day almost, now it looks like hair doesn’t even grow there! Same for my chin, although I have neck hair that is still there. I’m using this to try to conceive also. I started using this during my period so I haven’t finished a full cycle yet. But I ovulated on time, with ovulation pains and good cervical mucus that I havent seen in a while so I have hope! I usually O every month, but I have only just been diagnosed with PCOS as of last month. In the cycles I have used this product my temperatures are better, O is later rather than earlier, and I have a theory that I did infact conceive the 2 months I used it before (April, July, possibly August/Sept) but because I had uterine polyps at the time my immune system got inflamed and implantation failed. Sorry, TMI I know, but I really think this product is great!

It obviously works for most people so I'm not gonna give it a bad review. Just know that we tried this out at very small doses, gradually increasing them, and my wife had migraines for that first week, then nothing for 2 weeks, then she had them again for about a month. She took it for managing her anxiety. It did help reduce her anxiety by about 50%, and she was drinking a ton of water. We'll have to try something else though... She's also taking TrueHope pills (40% the normal recommended daily dose) and using Bob Beck's BioTuner for depression/fatigue (the combo does the job) but still looking for something to ease the anxiety. Maybe doing all 3 things was a little too much for her brain? We're trying kefir instead now so hopefully that helps.

To me, the fact that this brand of Inositol is Pharmaceutical Grade, is very important. I won't purchase any Inositol unless it meets this criteria. I was told Inositol is used for dozens of medical ailments. For me, it cured my persistent insomnia. I will always take it. Inositol is dissolved in filtered water or added to a smoothie on a daily basis. This Inositol has a slightly sweet taste and I found it to be easily mixed in liquid. I began with two teaspoons daily and am now taking one tablespoon daily. Patience is required because the effect is subtle in the beginning, but worth your persistence. Inositol is affected by moisture and light and is best stored in an air tight cannister. For the bag of Inositol provided here you need a seven cup capacity cannister. I put foil around mine to minimize light reaching the powder, but a ceramic cannister would accomplish the same. It just needs to be airtight. I hope this review helps someone.
