What health agencies say

An opinion says what the agency recommends; it is not a rule binding on the product.

AFSSA identified no evidence against an additional intake of 2 000 mg of inositol per day from supplements and fortified foods combined. This opinion predates 2012; no more recent official safety opinion specifically addressing this inositol intake was found.

AFSSA, opinion of 8 September 2008, 2007-SA-0231.

In plain words
