Mood regulation for young women with Inositol

For many young women going through puberty is a challenging time with a lot of mood changes. Taking a natural health supplement like Inositol may be helpful.

Some one in my immediate family had this issue.

They had two young teenage daughters about 2 years apart that starting to have a lot of mood issues going through puberty. They were fighting a lot.

Taking this supplement actually really helped the situation. They were better able to regulate their moods and the fighting stopped.

What was helpful? A supplement from a company called NFH called Inositol SAP

The supplement is sold by a number of companies:

This substance is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body

Inositol is a type of sugar that plays an important role in your body, especially in brain function and hormone regulation. It's not like regular sugar that gives you energy. Instead, it helps with things like:

Sending signals inside your cells.
Making your body respond better to insulin, which is useful for conditions like PCOS.
Affecting brain chemicals, which can influence your mood.

You can find inositol in foods like fruits, beans, grains, and nuts. Some people also take it as a supplement for certain health issues like PCOS or depression.

What is the worst side effects of this supplement?

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

Stomach problems, such as nausea or diarrhea.
Dizziness or headaches.
Changes in mood.
Feeling tired.
Trouble sleeping.

Usually, these side effects are mild and inositol is safe for most people, especially at lower doses. Everyone is different (see Jigar Mehta) so this might be helpful for some people and not helpful for other people.
