Hello, I am looking for any advice and or information and also to encourage others to look into inositol. I have previously had a pregnancy effected by spina bifida. I am now looking to try again and have been doing research which has introduced me to Inositol, UCL are presently conducting a study called the ponti study (have a look on line very interesting reading) and others in america have carried out similar studies which show that folic acid can reduce some neural tube defects by 70% but ask the question what about the other 30%. they have found some defects are not helped by folic acid and some women do not respond to folic acid but they have found amazing results with inositol. one study suggests in the not too distant future it will be prescribed along side folic acid as part of the preconception up to 12 week plan. What I am struggling with when reading all this research is the following and this is where i would greatly appreciate any help and advice. The research discussed D-Chiro-Inositol and then just Inositol - does anyone know the difference and which one should be taken?
Also where can you buy it from (that you can be sure you are getting what you want!)?
And finally what is the recommended dosage, I think it is 1000mg (1g) which is the amount suggested but would like to know for sure.
Many thanks and hope you all having a good day
