What people say about Inositol and anxiety
“Taking Inositol for 3 months now I can say it has almost completely removed my once "intense" anxiety.”
“I took 1 gram, all the way up to 17 grams. Nothing. No reduction in anxiety or depression.”
“Inositol makes me feel more present...Essentially how I feel after meditating, but for hours. I'm more focussed on doing and living than freaking myself out over nothing.”
“Now im 5th day of 18g inositol per day and I see noo benefits beside maybe 2h of diarrhea and calmness after acute dosage followed by depression, I even wake up with anxiety right now.”
