If you’re struggling with PCOS symptoms, hormone imbalances, or fertility issues, you might be taking (or about to take) an inositol supplement that probably doesn’t work.
Most people don’t realise that supplement brands cut corners, sell junk formulas, and sacrifice YOUR results for THEIR profits. AND give supplements a bad reputation.
I’m Dr. Emanuel Paleco. For over 30 years, I've treated thousands of patients and trained countless doctors to manage hormone imbalances effectively.
When I prescribe a solution, it HAS to work—because I have to look my patients in the eye when they come in for their review and make sure I've delivered real results.
And let me be clear right now: Don’t buy my formula. I’m not here to sell you anything. Honestly, most of the time, my inositol formula is out of stock anyway because we make it in small, meticulous batches each month for our patients.
This article isn’t about me—it’s to help YOU find a formula that actually WORKS. (And maybe a well deserved F*** you to influencers flooding the market with junk that doesn’t work and gives supplements a bad name.)
Because here’s the hard truth: Most supplements these days are created by influencers –or some donkey sitting in their bedroom. They hear about the ‘next big thing,’ call a private label factory, slap a label on a cheap formula, and push it out the door. They never have to face you. I do.
If you’re serious about finding a formula that works, you need to know the red flags to avoid and the criteria to look for. I’ve broken it down into 9 simple truths that will save you from wasting your time, money, and hope on junk formulas
Truth＃1 – Delivery Form Matters
Here’s something most supplement companies will never tell you: tablets and capsules are the cheapest, least effective delivery form.
They sell them because they’re easy to make and insanely profitable—not because they work.
Here’s what happens when you take a tablet:
• It has to survive digestion (and most of it doesn’t).
• You get low bioavailability, meaning your body absorbs only a fraction of what you paid for.
Now compare that to liquid inositol:
• Liquids have superior absorption, especially for water-soluble nutrients like inositol.
• Some of the liquid is absorbed sublingually (under the tongue), bypassing digestion entirely.
So why don’t more brands use liquid?
Because it’s harder to make:
• It requires specialized equipment.
• You have to get the taste right (without chemical fillers).
• The bottles are heavier, more expensive to ship, and far less profitable.
But here’s the truth: Liquid formulas deliver results. Tablets don’t.
Truth＃2 – Dosing is NOT One Size Fits All
Dosage matters. Full stop.
Most inositol supplements are underdosed because it’s cheaper for the brand—and easier for you to miss what’s really happening.
Here’s what the science says:
• Women with PCOS need between 2,000–4,000 mg per day to see results.
But how do most brands deliver this? 4–6 giant capsules that no one wants to take.
With liquid inositol, it’s different. You can:
• Easily adjust your dose based on your BMI, symptoms, and goals.
• Split doses throughout the day for maximum effectiveness.
On my formula, I include a dosing chart—so you can finally take the right dose for YOU.
Truth＃3 – Myo-Inositol Alone? That’s Why Your Hormones Aren’t Improving
This one makes me angry.
Most brands throw Myo-Inositol in a bottle and call it a day. But if you think Myo-Inositol alone will fix your PCOS, you’ve been misled.
Here’s why:
Hormone control is complex. The human body doesn’t work with one magic ingredient—it needs a cascade of biochemical pathways to trigger real results.
To restore balance, you need:
• Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Supercharges Myo-Inositol, especially for women with insulin resistance or a family history of diabetes.
• Glutathione: The antioxidant powerhouse that protects your eggs from oxidative stress and improves fertility.
• Chromium Picolinate: Proven to lower BMI, testosterone, and fasting insulin—three key problems for women with PCOS.
• Alpha-Lactalbumin: Improves gut health, so your body absorbs the inositol instead of flushing it out.
If your supplement doesn’t include these key ingredients, it’s like trying to fix a car with one wrench. It won’t work.
Truth＃4 – Time is Key
Here’s the thing: Inositol timing matters. A lot.
If you’re taking inositol at random times (or right after meals), you’re not getting the full benefit. Why?
• Inositol competes with glucose for absorption.
• To work properly, it needs to be timed to your body’s peak androgenic activity—usually mid-morning or pre-bed.
Now here’s where tablets fail you again:
• Most inositol capsules require 4-6 pills a day. Are you really going to split them into perfect doses at the right times?
With liquid inositol, you don’t have to think about it. You can:
• Split your doses easily.
• Take them at optimal times for maximum results.
Timing isn’t a small detail—it’s the difference between success and failure.
Truth＃5 – Quality of Raw Materials
Let’s get real: If you’re buying a £10 inositol supplement, it’s cheap for a reason.
The raw materials are low quality, and the results will be nonexistent.
Here’s the difference with my formula:
• I source organic, premium nutrients from farms I’ve personally visited.
• Every batch is made with meticulous care because quality is everything.
But here’s something no other brand does: I offer free consultations to help you get the most out of your supplement.
• I tailor your intake to your symptoms.
• I help you time your doses for results.
Most brands don’t care about your results—they care about your money. I care about results because my reputation is on the line.
