Not sure, I (potentially) took it as part of a study while pregnant, can’t really say if it had any effect because pregnancy causes so many changes by itself (if I even took it, of course). That was 4g a day (combined with 0.4mg folic acid), by the way, which is roughly what they suggest for PCOS in general. So your supplement + watermelon inositol dosage does seem low in comparison, but maybe the 4g is higher than it needs to be, it’s hardly settled science. And as you say, threshold effects or a combination of things, or simply that you don’t have PCOS so you need less of it to achieve a similar effect, because you were also less dysregulated. (Why it would be dysregulated in your case or in PCOS patients may or may not be the same, no idea in either case what the cause is, gah.)
Interesting, I didn’t know inositol had so many potential applications, I wonder to what extent these issues have a similar root cause in that case. At least they seem to have a symptom in common.
