Inositol Powder (500g) Brand: A.O.R Advanced Orthomolecular Research

As noted on the bottle, I am using this product for "mood balance". It's more expensive than some other myo-inositol products available. Of course, it has crossed my mind whether there's a significant difference between this product and cheaper alternatives, but it's being used by someone that I believe to be knowledgeable so I have continued using it, especially since it does seem to have a positive effect on my mood and outlook.

I purchased this brand of inositol powder because my sister was taking it and found it useful for helping with reducing her blood sugar levels and for carbohydrate digestion. I found it useful as well. The dose is clearly shown on the label as a serving size. For our purposes, we took the full suggested serving size of 9 grams (1 heaping tablespoon) per day. My sister and I purchased this brand of inositol powder because this was the brand recommended by her doctor. (Not trying to practice medicine without a license here. Just saying what was our experience.) I haven't tried other brands, so I can't say how this one compares to others, but this inositol powder tastes good-- a little sweet. You mix it with water. The inositol powder is manufactured from rice bran, and has nothing else in it.

I see no serving size?

I can't say enough about this product. I bought it after doing research on Inositol for OCD and also reading countless personal reviews on its effectiveness. I decided to give it a try. This is the brand my Naturopath recommended, but with the bonus of free shipping, I thought it was worth the risk.Research studies show that a daily dose of 18g is most effective for OCD, but I have great success with 9g/day (I put 2 tsp in a smoothie twice a day).To describe the effect, I would say it enables you to step off the hamster wheel with obsessive thoughts, or fixation on compulsive behaviour, and allows you to just "move on". That might sound simple to someone without OCD, but if you're reading this because you struggle with OCD - believe it! I would give this product 10 stars if I could for how it transformed my life. My advice would be to start low and slow, until you find YOUR sweet spot. Don't aim for the 18g from the starting gate. You might find you don't need it. And if you flare up down the road, there's room to add on.There's a week or two of mild stomach discomfort with this product (just a few extra washroom trips, nothing major), before your body adjusts. I've heard others have experienced mild headaches, but I did not. I've been using this product for approx. 4 months now and am not experiencing any side effects, nor have I built up any tolerance. In fact, I've recently been able to reduce my daily dose because I'm that much more functional.As some further anecdotal encouragement: I recently mentioned this product in a Tourettes support group where a mother was struggling with her own OCD and that of her young child. She spoke with their psychiatrist who approved trying it (because this is well researched in the field of psychiatry), and she could not believe the difference in herself and her child after their very first dose.So if you're struggling with OCD, take a leap of faith and give this a try. It's worth it! I wish more people knew about it.

My naturopathic doctor recommended this for me. I had a stillborn and three miscarriages and she suggested this for improved egg quality. I had no idea I could improve my egg quality but several doctors have said the same thing.I have used this since February and it has greatly improved my ovulation cycle! I now ovulate almost every cycle rather than sporadically. I have always had a regular period but would not always ovulate. That has now changed thanks to this supplement!If you are trying to conceive I highly recommend this.It starts to work after 3 months so you need to be patient!

Inositol has really helped my 10 year old son with his OCD, he told me the other day that he doesn’t feel the need to do things over and over anymore.It has really helped me with my energy level and motivation!

I add 1 tablespoon in my morning coffee and one tablespoon in my evening hot chocolate protein drink. No taste. But it keeps me from getting too sensitive, upset and overreacting. I am more balanced for sure. And I feel the difference if I miss it.

This has no flavor and is easy to mix so I can add it to any beverage. I can't tell if its working yet but I was advised by health care practitioner to take Inositol to help with my insulin resistance. Only on my first bottle.
