Does Inositol have a caloric value?

Does it? Just wondering, and if so, would taking 20grams a day screw up my diet

1g of protein = 4kcals

1g of carb = 4kcals

1g of alcohol = 7kcal

1g of fat = 9kcal


20g of inositol (a sugar) = 20 x 4 = 80kcals... i.e. fuck all.

You finding inositol effective? Did a smaller dose not work for you? Say 5g?

I ate some inositol last night for the first time. I really didn't measure the amount accurately, I think I ate about 10-15 grams before bed. So I can't say how much it helped from this one time, I think it may have made me calmer but its too early to make a good judgement on the effiency it had on me.

I bought 300 grams for I think 9 dollars( I forgot exactly) from beyond-a-a-century.com
