Recommended Dosage
Inositol supplements are often available in 2 main types: D-chiro-inositol or DCI and myo-inositol or MYO. While there is still no widespread agreement on the best dosage and most effective option, recent studies have suggested the following recommended intakes for different conditions:
– Metabolic syndrome: 2 g MYO two times per day in 12 months
– Mental issues: 12 g to 18 g MYO one time per day in 1 month
– Type 2 diabetes: 1 g DCI one time per day in 6 months
– Gestational diabetes: 2 g MYO two times per day during pregnancy
– Polycystic ovary syndrome: 2 g MYO two times per day or 1.2 g DCI one time per day in 6 months
Keep in mind that these benefits can work in the short term. More research might be needed to know whether inositol supplements are effective and safe in the long term. [3]
