Nah man, inositol actually does the opposite for most people. I took it for my anxiety and insulin sensitivity, and it actually helped me shed some stubborn belly fat. If you are gaining weight, you might want to look at your overall diet or get your hormones checked.

Inositol is typically prescribed to improve insulin sensitivity, especially in PCOS, which actually aids in weight management rather than causing gain. If you are noticing an increase in weight, it could be due to hormonal imbalances or water retention. Schedule a quick consult with your endocrinologist to review your dosage.

Oh, I totally panicked and almost threw my bottle in the trash when I saw a slight bump on the scale in the first week! But I realized it was just initial bloating. After a month, my sugar cravings went down and my weight actually started dropping. Just give your body a couple of weeks to adjust.

Nahi behan, isse vajan nahi badhta hai. Maine pichle saal doctor ke kehne par ise shuru kiya tha aur mera vajan thoda kam hi hua tha. Aap ghabraiye mat, yeh pcos ke liye bahut acchi dawa hoti hai, bas thoda parhez rakhiye khane mein.
