Bipolar Disorder
In a 6-week, double-blind study, 24 individuals with bipolar disorder received either placebo or inositol[Vitamin B-6] (2 g three times daily for a week, then increased to 4 g three times daily) in addition to their regular medical treatment.5 The results of this small study failed to show statistically significant benefits; however, promising trends were seen that suggest a larger study is warranted.
