titleWhat is the worst side effects of this supplement?

When taken in high doses, inositol supplements can sometimes cause side effects like:

  1. Stomach problems, such as nausea or diarrhea.

  2. Dizziness or headaches.

  3. Changes in mood.

  4. Feeling tired.

  5. Trouble sleeping.

Usually, these side effects are mild and inositol is safe for most people, especially at lower doses. Everyone is different (see https://medium.com/@jigarmehta277/web-developers-and-on-average-bce9d923a2c8 ) differentt so this might be helpful for some people and not helpful for other people.

titleIs the science proven on this?

Inositol has been researched for its potential effects on mood disorders, but the findings are still not clear-cut. One study suggests that inositol might be linked to mood disorders because changes in its levels were observed in people with depression. However, it's not yet confirmed if inositol can be used effectively to treat mood disorders like depression. More research is needed to understand its role fully. In short, while inositol is related to brain functions and could potentially influence mood, its exact effects and benefits for mood disorders are still being studied​​​​.

Lots of the things are hard to measure. But at the end of the day it is a sugar so not super harmful.

In summary taking a small dose of this substance for a short time may be very helpful for some people. The downsides of using it are low and I have one direct trusted personal reference for this.
