Here is a summary of the key points and conclusions from the video: Introduction * Inositol, sometimes referred to as Vitamin B8, is a vitamin-like compound that plays important roles in health maintenance. * It was initially thought to be an essential nutrient, but the body can synthesize upwards of 4 grams per day. However, many people don't make enough and low levels are linked to various health conditions. * Top food sources of inositol include meats, citrus fruits (except lemons), melons, leafy greens, bananas, almonds, peas, peanuts and sunflower seeds. Functions of Inositol * Cell Signaling: Inositol acts as a "secondary messenger" to help transmit signals from hormones and other molecules into cells. This impacts many cellular processes and functions. * Blood Sugar Regulation: Inositol plays a key role in insulin sensitivity and preventing insulin resistance, which is the underlying cause of diabetes. * Fat Metabolism: It is involved in fat metabolism in the liver. Deficiency can contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. * Neurotransmitters: Inositol is important for proper neurotransmitter signaling and is linked to mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. * Calcium Regulation: It helps regulate calcium release and influx into cells for proper functioning. Symptoms of Inositol Deficiency * Fatty liver accumulation, confirmed via ultrasound. * Abnormal blood sugar regulation - prediabetes, insulin resistance, elevated fasting glucose, elevated A1C. * Depression, anxiety, mood changes. * Abnormal menstrual cycles - severe PMS, cramping, headaches. * Muscle cramping due to impaired calcium regulation. Research on Inositol * Human studies show inositol can outperform antidepressant drugs for treating conditions like depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and panic attacks. 18 grams per day was effective. * Reviews show clinical benefits for PCOS, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, respiratory distress syndrome, and more. Mainly through improving insulin sensitivity. * For gestational diabetes, it prevents onset and improves outcomes. It also prevents neural tube defects in folate-resistant women. * Very effective for treating PCOS, improving fertility rates and ovulation. * Lowers TSH and thyroid peroxidase antibodies in Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. Crucial for proper thyroid hormone synthesis. Drugs and Conditions that Deplete Inositol * Lithium * Seizure medications * Antibiotics * Possible depletion from coffee/caffeine Forms of Inositol * Myo-inositol - most abundant and preferred form in the body. Best for supplementation. * IP6 - also used effectively as a supplement * D-chiro-inositol - not typically recommended Dosing Considerations * The body normally makes 1-4 grams per day and consumes around 1 gram from the diet. * For general preventive supplementation, 1 gram per day. * For therapeutic purposes, 2-4 grams per day. Up to 18 grams for neurological/psychiatric issues. * Powder or capsules can be used. Gel caps have better absorption. * Always ideal to test levels first before routine supplementation. Intracellular testing can identify inositol deficiencies. Conclusion * In summary, inositol is an extremely important nutrient for optimal health that many people are likely deficient in. It has therapeutic benefits for a wide range of chronic medical conditions. * Supplementation is safe, effective, and should be considered if a deficiency is present. Testing levels first provides more definitive evidence. Inositol works best alongside a diet rich in foods that provide it naturally.
You are the best! I have never been to a Doctor Who taught me how to take care of myself instead of just giving me drugs! And I’m 78 years old. Thank you so very much
One thing I have found is just taking one ingredient isn't necessarily the whole key. Changing your diet to help minimize inflammatory responses as much as possible is also necessary. Taking in balanced nutritional supplements,which includes vitamins, minerals ,amino acids, and omegas along with the inositol will help greatly. We are not drug deficient. Food alone cannot supply enough nutrition. The soil is so depleted that their isn't enough nutrients for the plants to pull into it. World wide use of glycosates, also known as RoundUp, have killed the microbes in the soil that are needed to help the plants pull up the nutrients that are there. God bless Dr. Osborne for his educational videos. They are very beneficial, but how and what we eat is very important. Mushrooms are a wonderful source of inositol and helps in support of immunity as well. Make a multiple mushrooms soup and add wild rice, seaweed and such is a wonderful weekly dish that will help too. Good health to all.
Exactly. If someone doesn't drink but has a fatty liver, first thing to check is what you eat and not Inositol. If you eat excessive glucose and fructose in a form of sugary drinks, natural juices, starchy foods like chips, pizza, macs, bread and bakery then that's the culprit and not Inositol.
Thank you! I am having so much luck with Inositol in my mental health with focus, clarity, and prevention of excess rumination and brain fog. I love it. I wish this was just mandatory for people.
I added this after seeing your video . By the 3rd day I felt so good. I haveME/CFS and Hashimoto's. I am learning so much from you and you are changing my life.😊
really great explanation of everything. I used it for PCOS and it worked great but then stopped using it. I will start again for my Hashi, liver, and prediabetis. Thank you for all the great info.
I started taking inositol to help with pcos to hopefully conceive. I take 4,000g a day. (Two 1,000g tablets twice a day) Two weeks in and my anxiety as almost disappeared. This is huge for me. My mood in general has improved dramatically. I've lost weight, sex life has improved, I want it more than my husband! I have more normal female reproductive function without going into too much detail. I'm excited to see if I can naturally conceive. I've been devastated by years of infertility. Inositol has motivated me to try a little harder. I do yoga now. I've cut back on soda with the goal of cutting it out. I love inositol. Big pharma is always gatekeeping what actually helps so they can make thousands off of your poor health. Take inositol, take coq10, take methyl folate. Take your daily multivitamin. Eat organic when you can and avoid over processed foods. Drink water.
Thx for posting your experience. Im wondering if you experienced any side effects from it? And if those side effects sibsided? I've taken 750mg the last two nights. I slept really well! And noticed my food cravings reduced. But I'm so fatigued today with TERRIBLE headaches!
@@katesmith8424 I have not experienced any side effects at all. Everyone is different tho. Just a lot less anxiety and I have lost a little weight and a lot less bloated.
Inositol is also found in meat sources and eggs. Meat sources are rich in inositol Although when you google for sources of inositol only plant based inositol is mentioned. You have to specifically google meat high in inositol.
Searching for lists like that, vegetables sells more clicks. We all know red meat kills you and eggs raises cholesterol. Those foods are off limits for a healthy person you know 😉
I have PCOS and have had severe bleeding for months with no break. Low ferretin at a 2, and doctors keeps pushing me around saying “you are fine”, maybe we can do a biopsy. THANK YOU started this and within 2 weeks no more bleeding and I have energy! ❤
Very interesting...is there a link between Boron and inositol? I have been researching Boron and how it helps regulate hormones and sends calcium back to the bones instead of soft tissue.
@@BriBorgersen what brand of suppository? That is interesting. I am in a group that uses Borax to kill bad bacteria/parasites and I know Boric Acid is used in eyedrops for infections. I put Borax in my bath water with Epsom Salt for detox bath.
I've only heard of Boron regulating calcium _metabolism,_ not specifically directing it to the bones. However, Vitamin K2 certainly directs calcium away from soft tissue and to bones and teeth, which is why one should always take it with Vitamin D3.
Boron is usually used as herbicide. On FDA page says it cause stomach bleeding on long term for doses higher than 1 gram. Unfortunately I found this by myself…using 3-6 mg of boron 1 week On 1 Off. I will never touch this thing again. My feces showed some blood during boron supp. Be careful of thing we heard on internet.
This was a very informative and comprehensive video Dr. Osborne. Thank you. IP6 can/does chelate certain minerals like iron and calcium. I have used it successfully for iron overloading (not genetic hemochromatosis). but discontinued it over concerns (valid?) about it chelating calcium and weakening my 72 year old bones. :-) Can its long term use risk bone deterioration? Does Myoinositol have the same calcium and/or iron chelation effect? Thank you.
Hey greetings from europe, informative overview,well presented, covering complex,multifaceted issues.i use inositol to balance my hormones ,notably FSH & LH levels and it works a treat!
What about Dchiro inositol with choline by solaray? I started taking this recently and getting appetite suppression but with acid reflux...so the no symptoms report seems faulty...should i keep taking it to see if symptoms go away???
Thank you for this video, is there any guidance for amounts to take to help in the case of Hashimoto's/Hypothyroid? I have been taking 750mg once a day slightly sporadically for a year, the amounts you speak of here for other conditions are much higher....my recent blood test showed THS had gone up disappointingly from around 5 to over 10, could a higher dose possibly help? I've just found your channel and am finding your video's most encouraging and helpful. Thank you.
Hello Dr Osborne, is Inositol good as treatment for shrinking fibroids? Can gluten be the cause of fibroids? I entered menopause six years ago; never bleaded. Thank you, Elena
Great video Dr Osbourne! I have some in the cupboard. I found my TSH is slightly high on a recent blood test. I had a celiac test done, and while it was negative, it showed IG A deficiency. I cut out all grains a year ago when a DNA test show celiac as a potential problem. I am wondering if this IG A deficiency can cause malabsorption. I feel the mitochondria aren't getting enough nutrients so I supplement B vits and cofactors especially B1 TTFD. Regarding myoinosital with calcium regulation, I wonder if this could cause problems for the heart - dysautotimia related. Thanks for the detail.
Is inositol good or bad for congestive heart failure? I read some information on it and didn't understand it because the technical language sounds a mbiguous because of the way it is written
My sister recommended it for sleep and weight loss. Have you noticed any difference taking it? And what brand did you get? Did you get the capsules or powder form?
I notice you keep on saying things like "...and here again is where inositol could be a contributing factor." It would be helpful if you would clarify _how._ Is it that there's too much inositol? That's what it sounds like, but it could also be that there's not enough, especially considering that many people supplement with inositol because they don't make enough.
I picked up on that as well. Like wait a minute, inositol is responsible for heavy periods and cramping? Anyway, my sister recommended it for hours and help with insomnia. I’m still trying to figure out what brand to get and what dosage
As I understand it tryptophan which is another amino acid can reduce your need for SSRI's as well as niacin and in some cases melatonin. Inositol seems to fix so many things that I would almost think that it would possibly reduce the dose that you would need also. It seems that thyroid dysregulation causes a lot of the symptoms that are treated with SSRIs So IMO monitoring would be advised. I would start low and see how it goes. These are just my observations. I am not a medical professional.
What if you take too much inositol? Is it just excreted from the body or can it have some harmful effects? Is it water or fat soluble? I would like to improve my mental health so I should go as high as 18 g / day as you suggested, but... I can't ask my doctors as they won't listen (yes, I tried asking about vitamin deficiencies in the past), I can't test because only useless serum tests are available here where I live, but not intracellular tests, and supplements are very expensive. So I am on my own, have to experiment with my body and draw money from my pocket like crazy :(
I have Hashi's hypothyroidism, but it's not my TPO antibodies that are high, but my TgA. I have been on Synthroid for three years, am on a gluten-dairy-free diet, no soy, yet my TgA remain high. I am getting my regular thyroid tests (TSH, FT3, FT4) two days from now. After that I'm going to (one by one, each separated by a couple of weeks before adding the next) add selenium, inositol, then maybe try NAC again. I have poor tolerance for most supplements and last time I tried NAC it made me very sick. This time I will try it at 1/5th the normal starting dose. I think I should be able to handle 5g/1tsp of inositol daily, though. I am chronically exhausted with many hypothyroidism symptoms despite my thyroid levels being in that notorious "normal range", so I'm hopeful that inositol can improve my quality of life.
Have you started taking the inositol and did you get the capsule form? And what brand? Your sister suggested it to help with sleep and weight loss. I also have hypothyroidism.
Can a cold also be a neuro cycle I had it last year and now one year later it is back again and doesn't go away, last time it was the vaccine reactivated the Eppstein Barr Virus.All this lost immunity and many around at the airport are dealing with the same issue also saying since the vaccine etc..... and they are much younger than me. Thank you.
I heard a doctor who researched and tested her friends who took the jab and they all got sick a lot. She discovered the jab killed their good bacteria, bifido bacterium, which is essential for immune system. Find different sources to get as many probiotics back in your system. Dont trust just one brand. Eat whole milk grass fed yogurt. Sugar free. Eat fermented vegetables with every meal. . Look for supplements. Get a variety! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm looking for a video on iodine by this Dr. I know how important it is, and how deficient most people are, yet haven't heard him elaborate on it much yet. ❤
This is what happened to me. I started taking Black seed oil 3/4 teasp two times a day never missed and got hyperthyroid. Went to lab so I could see numbers and cut back thyroid med from 45mg to 30 mg and then to 15. Had to cut my tiny pill up. Being hyper was worse then being hypo.@@kellyweiss961
Excellent lesson! I wonder, though, my doctor told me to take Inositol to help with insomnia. You did not mention that at all. I only took it for a few days, so I don't know if it would have worked. However, it's still in my fridge and I was thinking of trying it again. Might it help? Thank you.
It’s supposed to be beneficial for weight loss and to help with sleep. My sister has been taking it for years now, and she just suggested it to me. What brand did you get? Is it in capsule form?
It makes me so nauseous! I've tried taking it with food, without, at bedtime...Help! I know it works, I'm type 2 and it does help my blood sugar, but I hate the nausea. :(
I'm not a medical expert, but when I started semiglutide injections, I realized it was like pregnancy morning sickness. The body reacts to the lower glucose that isn't what it's used to. So when I started to feel the nausea, I took a couple of bites of food, or sips of meal replacement shake. It worked for me. I conquered the nausea side effect. Over a short time, I stopped the nausea completely. So, ease yourself into the lower glucose level until it gets used to it. Good luck. It worked for me. I did recently start an inositol/choline mix. Didn't notice any upset. Eating sublingual B12 and chewable magnesium, too. Feeling good these days.
Thank you SO much for your reply! The Dr. offered me Ozempic but I'm afraid to take it as I've had pancreatitis in the past from gall stones. @@fortheloveofdeltaco
@UNSHAKEABLE777 Dr Osborn mentioned IP6 at the very end pf the video as a form of Inositol. He preferred myo-inositol, but regarded IP6 as a useable form. He mentioned a third form, chiro-inositol, or something like that, as an inferior form. It seems there are many forms of inositols, but myo-inositol is the most aboundant and useable form.
I took this for PCOS - But it caused me to spot within the 3months of taking it. Then my period was very irregular. All this stopped after I stopped taking it
I saw a lecture by Benjamin Bikman, Metformin have as a side effect that it affect the impact of excercise in a negative way. Which is not desired if you're for instance a woman in menopause or older and want to safeguar your musclemass by excercise.
@@joanneclark8256 I don't know for sure, but I would guess "not really". Why my guess is based on that inositol seem to be a type of secondary signalsubstance that is claimed to help to get glucose into the cells and improve circulation, maybe even more so if combined with choline which claim to support fat metabolism in the liver. The effect is said to be with insulinresistance as many pre diabetic has. I am not sure the effect is such that it would be of much efficiency for those who have developed diabetes, i.e. the group who typically are prescribed Metformin. I have neither seen reliable info that Inositol in itself would cause weightloss as have been shown many have with Metformin. But this could of course be because people like me, who was pre-diabetic, and don't want medication change their die and that would cause the weightloss? (Not sure how reliable the reports about Metformin causing weightloss is, a person who have been prescribed it may have made a few dietary changes as well that perhaps we're moderate but sufficient for losing a few kgs and their doctor reports it as sideeffect of the medication?).
No the volume is even more then the average of ( his) other spoken vids. So you need to put ON your sound system, then check if the volume is up 1/4 . Else check with an audiologist.
@@carolined5923thier are no experts, just varying degrees of ignorance! Remember, he's trying to sell you something. So is it really free? He sure hope not!
He was saying it’s best to test not guess so you aren’t treating the wrong thing or spending money you don’t have to spend however it is mostly a well tolerated supplement especially when taking the lower end of the dose spectrum so you don’t HAVE TO test
Hi Dr.I wanted to know what to feed a man. I was watching one of your videos and you mentioned this subject, so that men don't take in some female hormones. Thanks.
Take both. They both help with insulin resistance. They both have different benefits of reducing insulin. Berberine is great for heart health. Lots of studies done. My girl friend uses both plus a host of other supplements to fix PCOS, adrenal glands and nerve repair which all supplements work in conjunction with one another
@@TheVipereagle I take Berberine before I eat my largest meal of the day, which is dinner. And then I take.Inositol capsule to help me sleep. I was just worried about taking both with Willow my blood sugar too much. Is it OK to take Berberine long-term?
IMO, saying #resistant# is a foolish, misleading, choice of word/jargon---I suggest #insulin bloat#...the condition being too much insulin, while #resistant# is the provocation.
Thank you! And what’s the cause of insulin resistance? Too many carbs, high processed food too much sugar in the diet? What’s the difference between Inositol and berberine?
@@maituub both Berberine and Inositol are supposed to prevent blood sugar spikes. And may actually lower your blood sugar? I take both of them for different reasons I take the inositol to help sleep.
Neural tube defect..... if I remember correctly, basically it is where as the spinal column and nervous system develop they can be outside the body of the baby or they arent developed correctly so the baby's body cant function properly. My kids are almost adults, so I might be totally uninformed by now, but as I recall most babies with these defects don't live more than a few days....
I got palpitations after 2 weeks on Inositol. Stopped it for 2 weeks and felt better. Online search mentions side effects of palpitations and heart enlargement! Can you please check?? Inositol is same as phytic acid(anti nutrient)? So does it block body energy conversion in excess calorie consuming individuals??

My sister recommended it for sleep and weight loss. Have you noticed any difference taking it? And what brand did you get? Did you get the capsules or powder form?
Do you miss your beard?😊
Is inositol ok to take for someone with low ferririn & low iron?
Thanks!
Can men take this? Would it adversely effect their hormones? It helps me sleep and I would like my husband to take it as well.
Thanks for the info!It’s very needed and appreciated!
This video was very informative, thanks Dr Osborne🎉
I like how you write on the studies. Potentially very helpful
Great video Dr..
Great video, but the writings on that thingy isn’t visible and not adding much to the talk but I’m truly thankful for your great work.
😊
Thank you for the class.
I notice you keep on saying things like "...and here again is where inositol could be a contributing factor." It would be helpful if you would clarify _how._ Is it that there's too much inositol? That's what it sounds like, but it could also be that there's not enough, especially considering that many people supplement with inositol because they don't make enough.
I picked up on that as well. Like wait a minute, inositol is responsible for heavy periods and cramping? Anyway, my sister recommended it for hours and help with insomnia. I’m still trying to figure out what brand to get and what dosage
Thank you, Doctor Osborne. 💛
You are the best Dr.
Brilliant 🎉Thank You 🙏🙏❤️
Great presentation. Can you take inositol whilst on an SSRI?
I heard it is ok to take all vitamins and minerals with SSRI and to take advice on taking amino acids ( UK)
As I understand it tryptophan which is another amino acid can reduce your need for SSRI's as well as niacin and in some cases melatonin. Inositol seems to fix so many things that I would almost think that it would possibly reduce the dose that you would need also. It seems that thyroid dysregulation causes a lot of the symptoms that are treated with SSRIs So IMO monitoring would be advised. I would start low and see how it goes. These are just my observations. I am not a medical professional.
I find the wonder amino acid Glycine 10X superior for blood glucose control. Works like a charm !!
Makes me very very sleepy.
What if you take too much inositol? Is it just excreted from the body or can it have some harmful effects? Is it water or fat soluble? I would like to improve my mental health so I should go as high as 18 g / day as you suggested, but... I can't ask my doctors as they won't listen (yes, I tried asking about vitamin deficiencies in the past), I can't test because only useless serum tests are available here where I live, but not intracellular tests, and supplements are very expensive. So I am on my own, have to experiment with my body and draw money from my pocket like crazy :(
Thank you!
Very nice presentation! I think I need this.
I have Hashi's hypothyroidism, but it's not my TPO antibodies that are high, but my TgA. I have been on Synthroid for three years, am on a gluten-dairy-free diet, no soy, yet my TgA remain high. I am getting my regular thyroid tests (TSH, FT3, FT4) two days from now. After that I'm going to (one by one, each separated by a couple of weeks before adding the next) add selenium, inositol, then maybe try NAC again. I have poor tolerance for most supplements and last time I tried NAC it made me very sick. This time I will try it at 1/5th the normal starting dose. I think I should be able to handle 5g/1tsp of inositol daily, though. I am chronically exhausted with many hypothyroidism symptoms despite my thyroid levels being in that notorious "normal range", so I'm hopeful that inositol can improve my quality of life.
Have you started taking the inositol and did you get the capsule form? And what brand? Your sister suggested it to help with sleep and weight loss. I also have hypothyroidism.
Nice music, gives off a body high.
I get a headache even from 500mg of myo-inositol. I do think it helps me sleep throughout the night, something that is difficult for me.
what about D chiro inositol . is it any good .
Are we suppose to have more folate?? Greens then? What about oxylates?
If I am taking iodine and want to start inositol should I stop taking the iodine?
Lol. I’ve been saying it wrong all along. “I knows it all”. Nope!😂
What should tsh be at? What's NORMAL
Can a cold also be a neuro cycle I had it last year and now one year later it is back again and doesn't go away, last time it was the vaccine reactivated the Eppstein Barr Virus.All this lost immunity and many around at the airport are dealing with the same issue also saying since the vaccine etc..... and they are much younger than me. Thank you.
I heard a doctor who researched and tested her friends who took the jab and they all got sick a lot. She discovered the jab killed their good bacteria, bifido bacterium, which is essential for immune system. Find different sources to get as many probiotics back in your system. Dont trust just one brand. Eat whole milk grass fed yogurt. Sugar free. Eat fermented vegetables with every meal. . Look for supplements. Get a variety! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm looking for a video on iodine by this Dr. I know how important it is, and how deficient most people are, yet haven't heard him elaborate on it much yet. ❤

Dr David Brownstien has videos on TH-cam on iodine.
I’m looking for the hyperthyroid explanation.
This is what happened to me. I started taking Black seed oil 3/4 teasp two times a day never missed and got hyperthyroid. Went to lab so I could see numbers and cut back thyroid med from 45mg to 30 mg and then to 15. Had to cut my tiny pill up. Being hyper was worse then being hypo.@@kellyweiss961

Great video, thank you!
Great info. Thank you.
Very in depth explanation of Inositol, especially since i have never heard of it.
If I have hyperthyroidism/ Graves, is it still beneficial for me?
Excellent lesson! I wonder, though, my doctor told me to take Inositol to help with insomnia. You did not mention that at all. I only took it for a few days, so I don't know if it would have worked. However, it's still in my fridge and I was thinking of trying it again. Might it help? Thank you.
It's great for sleep.
Has been just fine for sleep for me.
It’s supposed to be beneficial for weight loss and to help with sleep. My sister has been taking it for years now, and she just suggested it to me.
What brand did you get? Is it in capsule form?
Here wheat is BAD GLYPHOSATE 👎
SO WHAT TO DO???
Can you have too much inositol?
Thanks for info doc
It makes me so nauseous! I've tried taking it with food, without, at bedtime...Help! I know it works, I'm type 2 and it does help my blood sugar, but I hate the nausea. :(
I'm not a medical expert, but when I started semiglutide injections, I realized it was like pregnancy morning sickness. The body reacts to the lower glucose that isn't what it's used to. So when I started to feel the nausea, I took a couple of bites of food, or sips of meal replacement shake. It worked for me. I conquered the nausea side effect. Over a short time, I stopped the nausea completely. So, ease yourself into the lower glucose level until it gets used to it. Good luck. It worked for me. I did recently start an inositol/choline mix. Didn't notice any upset. Eating sublingual B12 and chewable magnesium, too. Feeling good these days.
Thank you SO much for your reply! The Dr. offered me Ozempic but I'm afraid to take it as I've had pancreatitis in the past from gall stones. @@fortheloveofdeltaco
Is this the same as ip6 inositol?
@UNSHAKEABLE777
Dr Osborn mentioned IP6 at the very end pf the video as a form of Inositol.
He preferred myo-inositol, but regarded IP6 as a useable form.
He mentioned a third form, chiro-inositol, or something like that, as an inferior form.
It seems there are many forms of inositols, but myo-inositol is the most aboundant and useable form.
It is a bit different , and very useful in treating Cancer pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17044765/
Im adding this to my Hashimoto's protocol
Good video💕💕💕

Myo to D ... pcos all say do ..thoughts??
DOES INOSITOL CAUSE HAIRLOSS?????
What about hyperthyroidism?
I took this for PCOS - But it caused me to spot within the 3months of taking it. Then my period was very irregular. All this stopped after I stopped taking it
Good contents, thanks, but technical problems with your display, your writings are clear, but the display is not, hard to read.
I saw a lecture by Benjamin Bikman, Metformin have as a side effect that it affect the impact of excercise in a negative way. Which is not desired if you're for instance a woman in menopause or older and want to safeguar your musclemass by excercise.
Is inositol the same for muscles tho???
@@joanneclark8256 I don't know for sure, but I would guess "not really". Why my guess is based on that inositol seem to be a type of secondary signalsubstance that is claimed to help to get glucose into the cells and improve circulation, maybe even more so if combined with choline which claim to support fat metabolism in the liver. The effect is said to be with insulinresistance as many pre diabetic has. I am not sure the effect is such that it would be of much efficiency for those who have developed diabetes, i.e. the group who typically are prescribed Metformin. I have neither seen reliable info that Inositol in itself would cause weightloss as have been shown many have with Metformin. But this could of course be because people like me, who was pre-diabetic, and don't want medication change their die and that would cause the weightloss? (Not sure how reliable the reports about Metformin causing weightloss is, a person who have been prescribed it may have made a few dietary changes as well that perhaps we're moderate but sufficient for losing a few kgs and their doctor reports it as sideeffect of the medication?).
LOVE IT
The volume is lost on this video can't hear anything.Just trying to read what Dr Osborne is saying.😊
No the volume is even more then the average of ( his) other spoken vids.
So you need to put ON your sound system, then check if the volume is up 1/4 .
Else check with an audiologist.
The video is great but the intro is very long, I do forward it
But a great free advice video from an expert.
@@carolined5923thier are no experts, just varying degrees of ignorance! Remember, he's trying to sell you something. So is it really free? He sure hope not!
Omg 36 minutes of your life!!! Plug in earphones and do some cleaning 😂 I do
Meaning, one can not take it before testing to see if there is a deficiency?
He was saying it’s best to test not guess so you aren’t treating the wrong thing or spending money you don’t have to spend however it is mostly a well tolerated supplement especially when taking the lower end of the dose spectrum so you don’t HAVE TO test
Why the long 'woo, woo' music at beginning? So unnecessary for such excellent videos.
Hi Dr.I wanted to know what to feed a man. I was watching one of your videos and you mentioned this subject, so that men don't take in some female hormones. Thanks.
I have pcos but have a period before menopause anyone else??
How does inositol differ from Berberine?
Take both. They both help with insulin resistance. They both have different benefits of reducing insulin. Berberine is great for heart health. Lots of studies done. My girl friend uses both plus a host of other supplements to fix PCOS, adrenal glands and nerve repair which all supplements work in conjunction with one another
@@TheVipereagle I take Berberine before I eat my largest meal of the day, which is dinner. And then I take.Inositol capsule to help me sleep. I was just worried about taking both with Willow my blood sugar too much. Is it OK to take Berberine long-term?
Scouring thru comments, there's too many quessing and simply not testing intercellular for nutrition deficiency?.
Why does it seem to give some people insomnia?
Can you do à crash course on molybdeneum ? Thx
molybdenum
IMO, saying #resistant# is a foolish, misleading, choice of word/jargon---I suggest #insulin bloat#...the condition being too much insulin, while #resistant# is the provocation.
Thank you! And what’s the cause of insulin resistance? Too many carbs, high processed food too much sugar in the diet? What’s the difference between Inositol and berberine?
@@HH-gv8mx Inositol is made in your body (normally ) Berberine is plant derived, and has a different field of action, you can not interchange them.
@@maituub both Berberine and Inositol are supposed to prevent blood sugar spikes. And may actually lower your blood sugar? I take both of them for different reasons I take the inositol to help sleep.
Is he saying narrow tube defect or neuro tube defect?
And which tube specifically?
Neural tube defect..... if I remember correctly, basically it is where as the spinal column and nervous system develop they can be outside the body of the baby or they arent developed correctly so the baby's body cant function properly. My kids are almost adults, so I might be totally uninformed by now, but as I recall most babies with these defects don't live more than a few days....
my diabetic dr , has never said a word of myo isositol
I got palpitations after 2 weeks on Inositol.
Stopped it for 2 weeks and felt better.
Online search mentions side effects of palpitations and heart enlargement!
Can you please check??
Inositol is same as phytic acid(anti nutrient)?
So does it block body energy conversion in excess calorie consuming individuals??
what brand and form did you use? it could also decrease choline in the body, so maybe you are low in CDP choline?
Dried plums are the richest natural source of mio-inositol.
Prunes??.? That’s funny I’m eating them now
@@HH-gv8mx plums especially dried plums
@@ninanina8023
Dried plums are prunes.
I read oranges were the highest
Does inositol deplet all lithium - or just the prescription medication lithium?
