Myo-Inositol is a naturally occurring compound that plays an important role in many aspects of health. Supplementing with Myo-Inositol may help to:

• Support healthy blood sugar/glucose
• Aid carbohydrate, sugar, and glucose metabolism
• Maintain and support nervous system health and function
• Help regulate and support a healthy menstrual cycle
• Maintain and support general health and wellbeing
• Support preconception health and healthy foetal development
• Maintain and support reproductive system health
• In males, support sperm health and sperm motility

As with any new supplement, please always consult your health professional to ensure it is suitable for your individual requirements.

Myo-Inositol has a high safety profile and is found in many prenatal vitamins (smaller doses). It is present in breast milk and is also found naturally in foods we consume such as fruit and grains.

Although this supplement has a high safety profile it is important to consult your health professional prior to commencing any new supplement or medication to ensure it is suitable for your individual requirements.

Myo-Inositol can be taken at any time of the day. Most individuals take split doses morning and night time, or as recommended by their health professional.

Myo-Inositol can be commenced at any time and is not not dependent on where you are in your cycle.

Although many in our community take Myo-Inositol in their morning tea or coffee, some research suggests it may be more beneficial to take Myo-Inositol away from caffeine to ensure maximum effects.

No, the dose is dependent on powder used, not the amount of water. So long as you finish the glass of water you will be having the same dose.

As a dietary supplement it is recommended to start with 1/2 - 1 level teaspoon which is equivalent to the recommended dose of 2-4g.

It is important to consult your health professional for individual dosing requirements. 

Myo-Inositol supplements are generally well tolerated.

With larger doses (e.g. 12 g), some individuals may experience nausea, bloating, loose bowels etc. If this occurs, please stop supplementation and consult your health professional.

If you are new to Myo-Inositol or have experienced side effects in the past, starting with a smaller dose can help your body adjust. A gradual approach is generally recommended, for example:

• Week 1: 1 g per day
• Week 2: 2 g per day
• Week 3: 3 g per day
• Week 4: Increase to the full 4 g daily dose either taken all at once or split as 2 g twice a day.

You may also find it gentler on the stomach to dissolve 2 g into 1 L of water and sip gradually throughout the day.

Please always discuss the above with your health professional before starting or adjusting your dosage.

Generally speaking and from most research, 3 months is typically when most individuals start to experience benefits.

For some individuals, benefits can be seen much earlier and for some later, just like with any supplement, individual results may vary.

It is important to discuss the use of all medications, vitamins and supplements with your health provider.

Every woman is different and has individualised health requirements. Please always consult your health provider prior to taking any supplement, vitamin or medication. 

Myo-Inositol can also be supportive for men. It may help to support sperm health and motility. As always, we recommend checking with a health professional to ensure it’s suitable for your partner’s individual requirements.
