When Do Results Typically Begin?

Some clinical studies report that individuals may begin to notice menstrual cycle-related changes within 8 to 12 weeks of consistent myo-inositol supplementation. These may include:

  • Shortened cycles in individuals with infrequent or delayed menstruation
  • Hormone balance changes (e.g., LH/FSH ratios)
  • Signs of ovulation such as cervical mucus patterns or temperature shifts

Most studies use 2 to 4 grams of myo-inositol daily, sometimes combined with folic acid.

What to Track During Your First 12 Weeks

Licensed healthcare providers on the Eden platform may suggest tracking:

  • Timing and duration of your menstrual cycle
  • Ovulation markers like basal body temperature or LH surges
  • Mood, energy, and PMS symptom trends
  • Cycle consistency from month to month

These insights help providers tailor next steps or adjust supportive strategies.

How Eden Uses Inositol

Myo-inositol may be included in some compounded MedKits offered through licensed healthcare providers on the Eden platform. These kits are designed to support metabolic, behavioral, and reproductive health. Other nutrients, such as B6, B12, and acetyl-L-carnitine, may also be included to support mitochondrial and neurotransmitter function.

When Might Timing Take Longer?

Cycle-related improvements may take longer than 12 weeks if any of the following factors are present:

  • Elevated androgens or DHEA-S levels
  • Thyroid or prolactin imbalances
  • Significant insulin resistance or unmanaged dietary factors

Licensed healthcare providers on the Eden platform may recommend labs or tailored care plans to help optimize results.
