Interesting post! What about taking IP6 with Rapa? Any side effects?
I found this review/pro-opinion about myo-inositol. it could be a candidate substance for the ITP
From the paper
Factors that deplete inositol include:7 9 64 65
- Insulin resistance
- Elevated glucose levels
- Low sodium intake
- Caffeine (coffee, tea, etc)
- Kidney damage
- Intestinal damage
- Lithium
- Valproic acid
- Magnesium deficiency
The findings and insights from the people contributing to Rapamycin News are astounding. The contributors have greatly influenced the supplements and dosages that I take to stay healthy and hopefully extend my lifespan.
“Everything old is new again”
I notice daily clickbait articles and ads on my phone and computer.
Inositol was a minor fad way back in the days when I was following Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw.
In any case, I remember taking inositol for quite some time. As with many of my supplements back then, I discontinued it because I felt no subjective results.
From the article, it is obvious that I was taking too low of a dose.
Maybe it’s time to revisit it.
This time I will take 4 grams daily for a while and monitor my glucose levels.
I think that inositol might be a good supplement for older people who gradually become more insulin-resistant
From other articles I have read this morning it may also have mental health benefits and may be a treatment for ADHD. Some forms of inositol may have anti-cancer properties.
@desertshores Huberman recommended myo inositol a few years ago. I took it for a while when I listened to him. I never noticed anything but I am thinking about starting again based on the paper.
Let us know what you find out!
In that paper it looks like myo-inositol is better than IP6 and almost as good as the IP6+myo-inositol combo to prevent colon cancer in mice.
Yes, i have been taking this since huberman mentioned it for sleep. It’s had zero effect on my sleep but I’ve been continuing to take it only because I have a ginormous bottle of it. I was so excited to finish it and never see it again, but now I may think differently.
If 4 grams daily of inositol does not lower my fasting glucose and A1c after 30 days I will stop taking it. I am starting tomorrow.
