Inositol 100g

Inositol’s anti-panic and anti-anxiety benefits have been “proven” in small clinical studies, but large scale trials are needed before these alleged benefits can be considered to be properly scientifically established. These studies showed that inositol is probably most effective for battling panic attacks, and during one study the results indicated that supplementing with inositol could be just as effective as taking traditionally prescribed medications. However, inositol does not appear to be as effective for combating depression; in one study it reduced symptoms of depression for a month but actually seemed to increase such symptoms when taken for a longer period of time. Based on the currently conducted clinical studies, inositol is rated as “possible effective” for treating* panic disorder and anxiety and “possibly ineffective” for treating* depression. Further research still needs to be conducted before any possible contraindications can be established. The currently stated effective dose for treating* panic disorder is set at 12 to 18 grams per day.
