10 Benefits of Inositol
Inositol Benefit #8: Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating disorder is a condition in which a person may restrict themselves from eating for a period of time, followed by a binge eating episode to compensate for the restrictive behavior. There has been research that shows that inositol supplementation can help with treating binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa, which is the result of purging after the binge.
One study showed that people who took 18 grams of inositol daily for six weeks had a reduction in symptoms of binge eating when compared with the placebo. It also contributed to reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, which are commonly associated with binge eating disorder.
