10 Benefits of Inositol
Inositol Benefit #6: Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a condition in which women experience severe symptoms of depression, irritability, tension and pain during their menstrual cycles. Some women who suffer from PMDD experience symptoms that can disrupt their social and occupational life. It is a more severe case of PMS.
Studies suggest that inositol can help treat women with PMDD. Over a period of 6 months, women who experienced PMDD took 12 grams of inositol each day as supplementation. They experienced significantly reduced symptoms of dysphoria and depression. The study was able to clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of myo-inositol on patients with PMDD.
