Inositrol Q

[Mustang Carole]

HI,

 

I need a dosage for a start up for Inositrol for a 190 lb male.

How long before any response and what should I look for ...as far as

good or bad results.

 

Thanks,

Mustang Carole

Hi! I assume you mean Inositol -- if not -- please ignore this post! I would start with 500 mg and then move to 1 gram. I haven't gone beyond that, but there have been studies for OCD where they have gone up to 18 grams.

Hi Carole

 

we were advised to give no more than 500mg per day of Inositol to help my son's OCD

 

I think we have a thread here somewhere with reply from mrsD that this can safely be given at higher doses

 

I will do a quick search to see if I can find it for you

Chemar, Do you know why you were told to only use 500 mgs? I thought I was being super conservative @ 1 gram!

Hi Emma

mainly because of my son having such sensitivity to meds and supps

 

 

a little has a large effect on him and so we always start everything at minimum dose and slowly work up if needed

 

After introducing the Inositol at 500mg per day, we also added 50mg per day 5HTP, which also boosts serotonin, so needed extra caution not to cause serotonin spiking

 

the combination of the two seemed to work really well for my son and so we never went higher on either

 

he no longer takes 5HTP bit does still take his 500mg Inositol each day
