Inositol won't make you drowsy during the day - it works by supporting your body's natural brain chemistry rather than acting like a sedative.
For sleep support, take it in the evening about an hour before bed.
For mood, hormone, or PCOS support, you can take it any time of day.

Most people start noticing mood and sleep improvements within 1-2 weeks of consistent use.
For hormonal benefits like PCOS symptoms or menstrual regulation, it typically takes 2-3 months to see significant changes since hormones take time to rebalance.
Some people feel calmer and sleep better within just a few days, but be patient - the full benefits build up over time.

Inositol is particularly helpful for women with PCOS, irregular periods, or insulin resistance.
It's also beneficial for people dealing with anxiety, mood swings, sleep issues, or stress-related problems.
Many people use it as a natural alternative to support mental wellness.

Inositol is very safe for most people since it's a natural compound your body already makes.
At the recommended dose of 700mg daily, side effects are rare.
Some people might experience mild stomach upset if they take large amounts (much higher than recommended), but this is uncommon.
It's generally well-tolerated even during pregnancy, which is why it's often included in prenatal vitamins.
