Excuse me if im wrong here,and just disregard,but do u mean inositol.If you do then yeah its a natural over the counter i believe b vitamin.
Along with other natural remedies there were small studies done showing it to be helpful with depression/anxiety/sleep/ocd.
Problems.....well first in the studies it requires very very large amounts i believe the smallest amount used was 12 grams of it.This wouldent be too bad aside the annoyance of such a high dose if it was EXTREMLY expensive.
Most reputable brands of it are quite costly to be taken at even a fraction of those doses.
One shop i know localy kept theres behind the counter,i asked why? I mean its not a recreational nutrient,then she shed light,well drug dealers were comming in and stealing it to cut coke with it.
I tried to use it when i had extra money,about the only thing i "might" have noticed was better sleep?Defintaly nothing dramatic.Good thing was its at least not bad to take,very sweet like sugar.
Although most brands prices are outrageous,u can find some brands like NOW foods and source naturals etc that sell bulk of it cheap,however with nutrients i personaly prefer to pay the extra money,since there are no standerds really,its just to easy to pay less but get garbage.
There is a lot of info on inositol though just do the ole google on it.
If u werent speaking about this,well then i guess i just gave a ton of irrevelant information huh.
