Good Safety Record with No Side Effect

Inositol occurs naturally in your body as well as in a range of foods. Depending on the structure of your diet, the amount acquired from food might range from less than 1 gram to several grams. It has a very strong safety record even when used as a dietary supplement. Doses in research investigations have ranged from 2 to 18 grams per day.

Some moderate adverse effects have been recorded at larger doses of 12-18 grams. Stomach discomfort, unsettled stomach, and farts are the most common. In several studies, however, modestly lowering the dose of inositol proved to relieve these symptoms. Pregnant women have even been given inositol supplements at dosages of roughly 4 grams per day with no adverse effects.
