The recommended daily dose for women with PCOS is 4 grams per day. This can be taken as 1 x 4g dose in the morning. Or as 2g with breakfast in the morning and 2g in the evening with dinner.A 4 gram serve is a not quite flat metric teaspoon. A 2 gram serve is a not quite flat metric 1/2 teaspoon. We now provide a 2g scoop in our Natural Myo Inositol Product.
It is recommended that you don’t take inositol with a lot of coffee as too much caffeine reduces the positive benefits. There isn’t a negative health effect rather just the reduction of positive effects.
How much is a lot? Depends on your body size and other factors but 3+ cups of coffee a day is a good place to start.
