Glycemic Index Help
What is the calorie count/ glycemic index of inositol?
I'm taking inositol in high doses for anxiety, and I'm trying to find out 1) how many calories per gram in inositol and 2) the glycemic index of inositol. I've searched all over the internet for this information without luck, so I'm hoping someone else will know the answer to one or both of these questions. Thanks in advance!

- INOSITOL metabolizes fats and cholesterol and aids in transporting fat in the blood system. Thus INOSITOL is an aid in the redistribution of body fat and can help to lower cholesterol levels. It is a member of the B-Complex group and is a lipotropic agent. (http://www.peaknutrition.com/lifatbuabprd.html) I looked at several companies' ingredients list and found NO caloric value listed, so I would assume there is less than 1 calorie in a serving (730mg, or 1/4 teaspoon). See NOW Foods brand: http://www.nowfoods.com/index.php?action=itemdetail&item_id=73818 Anyway, if it is not enough they have to list it, it's certainly not enough to be concerned about.
