The brand looks okay - the key thing I look for is to be sure it's a capsule and not a tablet. What I mean is that what you're taking is a gel capsule filled with the inositol/choline in a powder form. To me, I feel I'm getting a better dosage of the supplements from the powdered form vs. the hard tablets which can sometimes pass through your system undigested.

I've taken a few different brands of the Choline and Inositol and each has had a different suggestion on how much to take. Some say once a day, others say up to three times a day. The big thing is to be sure you're not taking too much of the Choline. From personal experience, I've found that over 1200mg in a day is TOO much and causes stomach upset, so I make sure not to go above that amount.

With the link you provided, I'd say taking it with every meal would be absolutely fine. Try and it and see how you're feeling - if you notice and stomach side effects (which again, I did not notice until I was taking 2000+ mg of the Choline by accident), then bring it down to possibly twice a day.

My current pills have me taking 500mg of the Inositol 2-3 times a day (again, I take it with each meal, but don't always eat 3 times).

Also, in the way of an update, my AF has continued to regulate. My last cycle was actually 28 days exactly. This cycle I've noticed some signs of possible ovulation, but I haven't built up the courage to actually try tracking it yet. As long as this cycle progresses normally (i.e. ends within 40 days), I'm going to attempt tracking on my next one to see if there are any definite signs of ovulation (OPK or a temp shift).

My weight loss HAS slowed down, but after 60+ in 7 months I'm not surprised and don't believe it's a sign of the supplements not working as well anymore. Really, I know it's just me needing to buckle-down and get more stringent with my eating and exercising, which I've allowed to slip slightly in the last month.

Good luck to all those choosing to start the Inositol/Choline combination. I fully believe it works just as well as the more expensive, not as widely available DCI. Perhaps it doesn't work as quickly or requires more of the supplement to be as effective (which I'm not sure is really true to be honest), but the fact remains that it DOES work. Honestly, I can't see any reason to shell out the kind of money necessary for the DCI when I can pay $30 every two to three months and get similar results.
