Hey everyone, I just got the Pure Inositol I ordered from Biovea to start taking for PCOS. Its just arrived and its in powder form - it says take 1/4 of a teaspoon daily between meals or at bedtime. Is that right? It doesn't say how I should take it either - in food? water?

It says a 1/4 of a teaspoon is 0.6g

Any ideas? thanks :) x


Edit: I read that the effective dose for PCOS is 4g a day, so it says 1 tsp in the morning and 1tsp at night. So I'm just going to have it in tea instead of sugar :)

    I use Inositol powder also and i just pop the tsp of powder in my mouth swallow and then drink some water.

    the stuff doesnt dissolve in water well at all, so it was a waste to try to mix it as i was missing a large part of my dose everytime it stayed on the side of the cup in powder form. this way i get it all.

    It's got a sweet flavor so even in water its not bad at all.

    Nice :) I have been using it in my tea, haven't seen any sticking to the sides, I stir it really well and I've been using it instead of sugar, one teaspoon of it in the morning, one at night :) is it supposed to make you feel a little bit out of it? I read somewhere someone saying it made them feel really 'dreamy and tired' for the first few days. I would say I'm definitely noticing that sort of effect.
