What people say about Inositol and mood
“I tried so many things for depression like saffron rhodiola tyrosine omega 3 methylfolate B12 taurine theanine NAC inositol b complex magnesium nothing helps it.”
“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.”
“This mood stabilizer was too sedating for me, I think because of the GABA. I didn't miss it when I switched to just L-theanine.”
