🧠 General info
- Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol are both water-soluble compounds (vitamin-like).
- They don’t require fat for absorption, and they’re generally well absorbed when taken orally.
- They can be taken with or without food, but some people find better stomach comfort with food.
💊 Best timing
- Morning and evening dosing (as you’re planning) is good — it helps maintain steady blood levels.
- Before bed is also common, especially because inositol can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality in some people.
- With meals can help minimize any mild stomach upset, especially if you’re sensitive to supplements on an empty stomach.
✅ Practical suggestion
You could do:
- Morning dose: after breakfast (or with it)
- Evening dose: after dinner or about 30–60 minutes before bed (whichever feels better for your digestion and sleep)
⚠️ Extra tips
- Avoid taking it at the exact same time as caffeine, since caffeine may slightly interfere with inositol’s calming effects.
- Be consistent with timing each day — steady intake matters more than exact timing.
💊 Timing for insulin sensitivity
- Best: With meals (especially those containing carbohydrates)
- This helps inositol's support your body’s insulin signaling at the time it’s most active — when blood glucose rises after eating.
- Splitting your total 2000 mg dose (1000 mg morning, 1000 mg evening) with your two main meals is ideal.
