What Is Inositol? Inositol is a type of sugar that influences both the body's insulin response and several hormones associated with mood and cognition. It's often referred to as vitamin B8, but it is not actually a vitamin. AKA -- inositol Hexaphosphate: IP-6
Take D-chiro-inositol in the morning just before your first meal of the day. Try to give it 15min or so to get into your bloodstream before eating.
Inositol plays a structural role in your body as a major component of cell membranes. It also influences the action of insulin, a hormone essential for blood sugar control. In addition, it affects chemical messengers in your brain, such as serotonin and dopamine.
Inositol is a vitamin-like substance. It is found in many plants and animals. It is also produced in the human body and can be made in a laboratory. Inositol can be found in many forms (called isomers). The most common forms are myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol.
Inositol might balance certain chemicals in the body to help with mental conditions such as panic disorder, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It might also help insulin work better. People use inositol for metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and for reducing the risk of preterm birth.

Best info on Inositol YET!!! You really gave me a lot of clarity as to what I need to do in addition to taking inositol. THANK YOU!!! I'll take you up on that consult!
You are welcome. Thank you for your support.
Thanks for sharing this information and I subscribed because I am amazed at how many comments you answer, even offering consultations - even if I personally don’t have any current need. The people with depression and anxiety, desperately begging for help in this section, I hope will take up your offer and I hope you can guide them.
Thank you for your support of my Channel.
Great video, thanks! As a type 1 diabetic I find inositol has helped control my blood sugar somewhat, and also helps with anxiety quite a lot.
Thank you for your support and sharing.
How long have you been taking it if you don’t mind? Does it ever lose its effect for you?
How much do you take per day?
I'm a bit blown away by these benefits. Someone told me many many years ago to get Inositol for my son for depression, but he never took it. I still have the bottle from Nature's Way. Now, I am interested very interested in taking this myself since I have some of the symptoms you mention. I've spent the last 30 min or so listening to several videos about this on TH-cam. Now need to figure out if I need IP6 or just the regular inositol. Thank you for sharing all this information, wish I can make an appt with you lol
There are many different forms of inositol. Myo-inositol is often referred to as just inositol. IP6 (also known as phytate, phytic acid or inositol hexaphosphate) is not the same.
Omg ty.
Tq very much.. I am type 2 diabetes & insulin resistance... Between ip6 & myo inositol which one u prefer? Tq
Another great video as always doc God bless you
As always ---thank you for your comments.
I was reading a study that inositol is as effective as metformin for improving insulin sensitivity and improving insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
Would that be the same for men? Or anyone with insulin resistance? I don’t see why not.
- your videos are the greatest!! Period.
Thank you for your support. Yes, Inositol is good for women and men -- insulin resistance is the key.
Thank you for the info! Just subscribed to your chanel!
Very well explained thanks
You are welcome
Thank you! For the Great Video brother 👌👍😎♥️🇨🇦😜✌️
Another great video...
As always --- thank you for your comments.
Thanks for the video on Inositol.
My pleasure
Thank you. Great info. New sub!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the info. Good stuff. From what I’ve read myo-Inositol decreases testosterone and D-chiro increases testosterone. So I’m wondering… if men should take D-Chiro only and stay away from Myo Inositol. Although, I believe that it’s the Myo that gives the calming effect. So if we didn’t take Myo we would miss out on that.
Any thoughts?
This stuff made my heavy period way lighter
Good to hear. Thank you for your comment and support.
PrincessAmandaTV wow!!! Ok! I hope this will help for the depression I am going through. God please help me.
TheJDocRealMinute Doc how much should I take? 600? I am going through depression and severe anxiety. Can I take it along with my antidepressant and Lithium ? I also take GABA and tryptophan to sleep which I find it at Vitamin Shoppe. Thank you for your support. Depression and mental illness sucks the life out of a person. I just want to be ME again!
@@VanessaSimon26 look into doing the ketosis diet, or just removing all the high sugar and carbs from your diet. I suffered from depression for years sometimes to the point of not being able to function. I've never had a weight problem and always ate healthy so I thought I could eat junk food. I don't do keto but I don't eat a bunch of sugar like I used to and now I don't have issues with depression. Balancing my minerals and doing a candida and parasites cleanse helped a lot too.
I’ve been taking this supplement (by Jarrow Formula). It’s definitely helped me curb down my cravings, I was a binge eater. Of course now I train 5-6 days week and feel much better very little anxiety.
God Bless in the Name of Jesus Christ

Hi thomas,
do you think this can also help sb. with normal weight?

@@thomaskishmanii2675 somebody
@@madlenj.4644 Its important to be physically active at least 5-6 days week. No matter how healthy you eat the body was designed to move. I did an experiment back in 2010s I ate healthy all the time and did no physical exercise and I started actually being in the worst shape of my life. Hope this helps. Some days I run, some days I walk up hill, and I mainly follow the athletic truth group (ATG) exercises. Hope this helps

Compensating emotional things, pressure and anxiety. Which unfortuately can´t be shut down completly because people bring diffrent situations i your life, also unwanted.
You stopped taking inositol?
I hoped if i would take it it would just make me satisfied so that i don´t feel the urge to crave. Also not because of hormonal imbalances.
Really interesting doc. Thanks for this. I have also read that Inositol is an excellent supplement to take post breast explant surgery to clear the system of silicone. Any thoughts on that?

Same question here. Thanks for the video!
I’ve been taking Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro 4:1 ratio for a year now and it did make my cycle regular coming every 33-37 days, although I haven’t gotten pregnant. It also made my cycles go from 7 days to 5 days. I’m just wondering how long is it safe to take?

Hi ,some say that inositol is high in People with dementia and alzheimer...can you please comment on this?
Tank you
The research I read ---'maybe' these people have a gene that does NOT break down the inositol levels naturally. So -- it builds up in the system.
Thank you👍🏼👏🏼

I take inositol also. can you create a pill that can convert matter into energy so I don't have to keep eating food?

What's the difference between inositol and myo inositol because I'm takin myo and it's not working for my depression as inositol did
Both the isoforms of inositol were effective in improving ovarian function and metabolism in patients with PCOS, although myo-inositol showed the most marked effect on the metabolic profile, whereas D-chiro-inositol reduced hyperandrogenism better.

What is the best time to take inositol
best time to take it is first thing in the morning.
Will it lower testosterone and libido?
Nope.
I am interested in taking ip6 to lower ferritin. I read somewhere that it is a good idea pause intermittently to give the liver a break. It was suggested that 3 weeks on and 1 week off was one option. I can’t find the source of the information anymore. Do you believe that the cycling is necessary?

Hi does myo inositol help raise estrogen levels?
Nope.
im taking myo inositol with d-chiro inositol 40:1 ratio...is that good for pcos? why no peanuts? I'm trying to gain weight and ttc too
the 40:1 MI/DCI ratio is the best for PCOS therapy aimed at restoring ovulation and normalizing important parameters. Peanuts will create an inflammatory response which will increase the release of insulin.
Is ip6 the same as inositol?
Ty, i am SO GRATEFUL, you Said helps with fibroid. And androgen in women!!!!
I was told to take it at night for my depression.
What do you think?
Give it a try ......let us know the results...

sir can i take inositol and multivitamin, multiminerals supplements together ?
I would recommend that you spread them out. Breakfast & Lunch

Is insitol the same as Inositol hexaniacinate
Inositol hexanicotinate (also known as inositol hexaniacinate or inositol nicotinate) is the hexanicotinic acid ester of meso-inositol. This chemical compound consists of six molecules of nicotinic acid (niacin) with an inositol molecule in the center of the structure.
Hi.. Can this help with High Prolactin Levels? Mines over 2000. Thank You
Yes it will.
@@thejdocrealminute4648 thank you for your reply. Can it be taken with zinc? Or inositol alone should do the trick at lowering prolactin
But what if you already from low testosterone, would this make it worse ?
Treatment of PCOS patients with Myo-inositol provided a decreasing of circulating insulin and serum total testosterone as well as an improvement in metabolic factors. No it won't.
Can I combined it with Berberine? If so separately?
Yes, you can.
Can the liver metabolise this supplement ok? If one has a fatty liver it is ok ?
Take TUDCA and NAC together. Watch my videos.
Can I take this with neem? They both supposedly lower blood sugar
Yes, you can.
I was told at 17 by an endocrinologist that I have PCOS (Irregular periods, facial hair, over weight, even told I had high levels of androgens and testosterone).
A few years later, a "nurse practitioner" said he didn't think I had it just because I managed to lose 50lbs on my own...(but I had worked my butt off!) And he looked more into my thyroid. I was then told I have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine.
I do NOT ovulate and husband and I have been trying for 11 months. My current Ob told me to try for 18 months before he "looks into it". Me, not having patience, researched myo + d chiro. I ordered my first bottle but have not taken any yet as I am wondering if it's safe to take them even though I am on levothyroxine??
Interactions between your drugs No interactions were found between inositol and Synthroid.
@@thejdocrealminute4648 thank you so much for the reply! I also take progesterone 7 days a month. Would the myo + d chiro affect it? Or is it safe to take progesterone also?

Does the "type IP-6" also have all the benefits of everything in the left column on your board? (Inositol Vitamin B8) Or are these 2 separate things, meaning you need to get Inositol B8 and IP-6?
Yes. very beneficial. IP-6

@@berries2511 Inositol is part of the vitamin B-complex. It is required for proper formation of cell membranes, plays an important role in chemical reactions in the body associated with the production of glucose and helps the nervous system to function properly. No toxicity or side effects are reported, excepting GI discomfort. Cons: May trigger GI distress if given too much too fast. Children with poorly controlled yeast or other bowel infections should treat those before using inositol.
