>I really do think that I must have an inositol deficiency or something. I read somewhere that chronic caffeine comsumption can deplete inositol levels in your body. I used to drink like 8 cans of caffeinated sodas a day, so I wonder if all that caffeine contributed to the depletion in my body. I found out that some signs of inositol deficiency are high cholesterol, constipation, and some other mental problems. The last time I had my cholesterol tested, it came back at 230. I also had been having incessant problems with constipation then (even when I didn't take meds that were constipating). And, the mental problems of inositol deficiency, at least in my case, seems to show up as OCD.
I heard that Inositol has an effect on the serotonin system, like the second messenger system or something, and also sensitizes those receptors. Could you clarify that?
