Yes. Inositol is generally considered safe when taken at recommended doses. (4g/day) However, it is always important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
Inositol is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience side effects such as nausea, headache, and dizziness. In some cases flatulence, loose stools and diarrhea. We recommend for mild symptoms using a ramping protocol of 1g/day in week 1, 2g/day in week 2, 3g/day in week 3 and then the normal dose of 4g/day in week 4. But if you experience any adverse effects while taking inositol, stop taking the supplement immediately and speak with a healthcare provider.
Inositol may interact with certain medications, including antidepressants and blood thinners. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider before taking inositol if you are taking any medications.

No, inositol and inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) are two different substances. Inositol is a type of carbohydrate that is found in small amounts in various foods, while IP6 is a compound that is derived from inositol and is available as a dietary supplement. They have different potential health benefits and should not be confused. Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is a banned substance in sport.
