How much myo inositol per day pcos?

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, and my doctor suggested taking Myo-inositol. She gave me a general idea, but I want to be sure about the optimal intake. How much Myo-inositol should I take per day for PCOS?

Usually, 2 to 4 grams daily is what is recommended for insulin resistance in PCOS, but remember it acts on your blood sugar levels. Keep a close eye on your diet and consult your doctor before mixing it with other supplements.

Didi, generally doctors give 2 grams in the morning and 2 grams in the evening. But please ask your lady doctor once before starting, don't take it blindly.

For my PCOS and thyroid, my doctor suggested 4 grams daily, but she insisted on regular blood tests every 3 months to monitor hormone levels. Make sure you are doing regular checkups and not just relying on supplements.

The standard therapeutic dose for PCOS is 4000 mg (4g) of Myo-inositol daily, usually paired with D-chiro-inositol in a 40:1 ratio. You can take it in powder or tablet form, but let your gynecologist confirm the brand and dosage.

Most girls are prescribed 2 grams twice a day, haan na. It really helps with periods regularity, but ask your doctor once about the exact brand.

While 2 to 4 grams daily is common, don't rely only on the supplement. Combine it with a 30-minute brisk walk daily and some strength training to manage your insulin sensitivity much better.
