A member asked:
How much inositol is safe to take in one day? i have been taking 1 gram per day and it helps my anxiety a little bit. is this better than medication
A doctor has provided 1 answer
18 grams/day or more: Studies have been done using up to 18 grams of Inositol per day and found it safe & well-tolerated with few mild side effects. If it works for you it's better than drugs as it's safer & less habit-forming, but also try exercise, meditation & counseling. Many other supplements may help as well- see http://www.lef.org/Magazine/2011/3/The-Chemistry-of-Calm/Page-02 Also consider classical homeopathy.
