Is inositol safe to take during pregnancy?

Not well studied...: Inositol has not been well studied in pregnancy. There is nothing to indicate that it is safe or unsafe. Its probably best not to take supplements that haven't been studied while you are pregnant. Best wishes!

Depends: Depends on the amount that is taken. "The use of inositol during pregnancy remains controversial as of 2011. In a December 1998 article published in "Alternative Medicine Review," Lisa Colodny, Pharm.D. and Dr. Ronald L. Hoffman report that inositol may induce uterine contractions. Thus, taking inositol while pregnant has the potential to cause miscarriage, preterm labor or low birth weight."
