Inositol is a very interesting and under rated supplemet from what I've been reading. I'ts a form of niacin but doesn't have the liver irritating or "flushing" effects of niacin.
Most importantly this relative of the B-complex family relaxes nervous tension and Dr Carl Pheiffer revealed it's ability to be extremely effective to help in fighting anxiety (even severe panic disorders), depression and it's also a great sleep aid.
It is well known as a supplement to combat diabetic neuropathy's painfull condition, and even helps the liver handle fats (inositol is a lipotroic fat burning nutrient) it is recommended with choline and methionine to give your metabolism a little push if you are having trouble losing weight (especially if you are just starting to exercise and reach a plateau early).
if you have insomnia try from 500 to 1,500mg just before bed mixed with juice or water.
for full blown clinical depresion doses of 6 to 18 grams have shown to be effective and safe.
it's very expensive in most health shops but 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon is a full dose or two (depending on how Im feeling) so it lasts a long while. i got mine for much cheaper on ebay than my local shops. i mix my 1/4 to 1/2t of inositol with a heaping teaspoon of L-glutamine in water just before bed. ****disclaimer**** Im not a doctor. My source of info for this has primarliy been from Dr Robert Atkins "vita nutrient sourcebook".
