Yes. I had low uric acid levels (i.e. below normal range) before using inosine. Since supplementation, my uric acid levels have been on the high side of normal. jimmylegs has had concerns i might get gout. bless.DIM wrote:Have you had a blood analysis for uric acid before start inosine?
I can not say I notice any difference when on or off it, but its not often I go without. I also take lecithin as well, as its suppose to raise them as well. I recently tried upping the dose, and noticed no discernible difference.
I take 1g twice a day.
Good points, these publications are not valids then?

Not valid? Animal, Animal, not conclusive (small), statistics (non specific design)... They are valid, but the studies themselves admit they are not conclusive. They are not as "valid" as a targeted, designed and controlled Phase III double blind study on MS patients; which from my understanding has yet to be performed on inosine.DIM wrote:... these publications are not valid then?
I personally continue to have it as a very serious part of my regimen. I do not know how I would of been if I did not take it.
Dr Aston Emphry suggests it as a crucial supplement for MS but he states is a "harder choice" due to been fairly costy and may result in gout!
Today I'll take wife's blood analysis for uric acid and if it's below normal levels I am going to order inosine, found the following cheap supplier:

Hi Jim-
My husband has been on inosine since his dx last March, with neuro's blessing. We had his uric acid levels tested at start, which were low (below 3.6 mg) He is now high/normal (around 8 mg) He has blood work every 3 months, and this is part of the test. He has had a good year...no relapse, no progression. He was taking 2mg daily, now is taking 1mg. We'll have levels checked again in June.
We believe inosine is part of the picture for him. No way to prove it...like many things in MS, it's on faith. I had read many of the studies, and felt lead to try this supplement. His docs agreed.
Here's my source... not too expensive.

Good luck with helping your wife. Keep researching, get blood work done on vit B, vit. D, check hormones, adrenal levels, find ways to balance her system. Good nutrition and supplementation can truly help. So can having a supportive spouse.
all the best,
AC

"average" level is 194. i've had that exact result twice. my third (middle) result was 188.
ms-ers in relapse average in the 160s.
remission is in the neighbourhood of 230ish??? can't remember that remission number exactly.
optimal for healthy controls is 290.
gout range is around 350 and up.
cure has totally different numbers, different units - gotta convert to compare.
i'd have to go scour through old posts to find what my units are at this stage, my lab printouts don't include this info! grr!

i'd be cautious about using the word "improvements".
with certain things, and i think inosine is among them, it's about minimizing future damage by getting yourself out of the "ms average" biochem. i don't think inosine repairs existing damage. sort of like getting your blood levels of vitamin D in the right neighbourhood.
meanwhile, things like vitamin B complex and magnesium can make noticeable differences in some symptoms, if you're low or low-middle in those sorts of nutrients.

Jimmy she takes Solgar B-complex 100 the last 4 months with one day per week brake but obviously she should take it every other day due to elevated hepatic enzyme ALT.jimmylegs wrote:wow that's somethin. is that from diet, or supplementing?
She isn't the case of MS with low B12 but as I mentioned she has low levels uric acid which means may benefit from inosine supplementation.
