now i’ve done a lot of videos on the b vitamins but i don’t think i’ve ever done a video on inositol which is vitamin b8 now they no longer classify inositol as a b vitamin because they found out your body can make it however it is a vitamin and it’s actually quite important so your body makes uh inositol your kidneys make inositol other parts of your body make inositol it’s most abundant in your brain and in practice i would use it to help curb cravings to carbs it’s actually a sugar alcohol it’s made from glucose and it greatly helps insulin resistance in blood sugars and you can even suck on it and it tastes sweet which is interesting and large doses like 2000 milligrams twice a day if you add a little folate to it you can see some serious improvements with add ocd overwhelm depression problems with binge eating and inositol is intimately involved with certain communication pathways involving neurotransmitters and hormones it acts as a natural antidepressant and it also has anti-anxiety effects its effects are similar to metformin if you’re familiar with metformin that is a drug that they use for diabetes type 2 and it makes the receptor for insulin more receptive to insulin so it helps to regulate blood sugars and they also use metformin for pcos because pcos is a situation where you have insulin resistance high insulin and then that actually converts to high androgens so because metformin helps lower insulin it’s good for pcos but guess what and acetol can also do that and has a lot less side effects any effect that you would see with lowering insulin you’re going to see a similar effect in when you take inositol so it’s going to help with a lot of different things a lot of women take it for pcos and i would do large doses as well now the type of inositol you would want to take is called myo-inositol all right number three it can help restore these two hormone ratios follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone those are two hormones that are made by your pituitary that sends signals down to the ovaries and also if you’re a guy it sends signals to the testicle to help produce testosterone estrogen and progesterone and so inositol helps restore these two ratios so let’s say for example you had a problem with your menstrual cycle inositol can help you let’s say you’re trying to get pregnant and you want to increase your fertility inositol can help let’s say for example you did fasting or the ketogenic diet and then you had a problem with your menstrual cycle whether it got too heavy or it went away you would want to take anastole number four and i’ve already mentioned this inositol can help reduce the need for binge eating because it’s involved with helping your body make neurotransmitters and certain hormones specifically serotonin serotonin helps you with depression anxiety cravings and it’s like a hormone that helps make you calm kind of like an anti-stress hormone and that leads to number five reduces stress so it can increase your stress tolerance and help you with mood swings other than that it doesn’t really do anything else thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the US hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
