Hi everyone,
I am trying to pinpoint which supplement is causing reactive hypoglycemia. I think it could be milk thistle, biotin, coffee, or inositol. I really think I have been able to isolate as inositol. There are a couple forms I've inositol I've dabbled with. Myo-inositol before bed for sleep, inositol hexaniacate (a form of niacin) in Seeking Health B Minus, and then there is Phosphatidylinositol in Seeking Health Optimal PC (phosphatidylcholine complex). I believe the one that causes the most issue is inositol hexaniacate. Upon stopping B Minus and just taking folinic acid, hydrox-b12, p5p b6, nicotinamide riboside (form of b3 that I now love), and riboflavin-5-p all on there own, I do not have this hypoglycemia / brain fog. Direct from the wiki page on reactive hypoglycemia there is a section that says:
"Myo-inositol or 1D-chiro-inositol withdrawal can cause temporary reactive hypoglycemia."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_hypoglycemia
Yet, there is NO source for that statement on wiki. If I google inositol and hypoglycemia, I can't find anything to support where that claim came from. Does anyone have any insight?
Greatly appreciate all your help!
