Inositol safe during Pregnancy?

Ruthie3667 · January 2014

Hello,

This is my first time posting. I have been doing a lot of reading about the safety of inositol during pregnancy and even called Motherisk at Mount Sinai in Toronto to find out more about it. They said it was fine to take because it is a B vitamin and found in the body naturally. They gave this advice based on a study conducted in Italy of mothers who were at high risk for NTD and took Inositol throughout their pregnancy to prevent it. No uterine contractions noted. Other sources have said that uterine contractions may or may not be caused by inositol during pregnancy (studies were conducted on mice). I take it for anxiety at a dose of 18mg a day, it works wonders but I am still hesitant to take it during pregnancy (I am undergoing IVF next month). Has anyone taken it successfully during pregnancy? Would love to get some insight!

Thanks!

Ruth

Hi Ruth!

This is my first time posting too. I have also been researching this topic as well. From what I can see the only problem is if you are taking over 4000 mg of it. There is more information here on the inositol taken during pregnancy and the benefits of it: https://sites.google.com/site/miscarriageresearch/supplements-and-miscarriage/d-chiro-inositol

Hope that helps
