Inosine Usage

Written by FoundHealth.

Therapeutic Uses

Inosine has been proposed as a treatment for various forms of heart disease, from irregular heartbeat to recovery from heart attacks . 1 However, the evidence that it offers any benefit to the heart remains far too preliminary to rely upon at all.

Inosine is better known as a performance enhancer for athletes, although most of the available evidence suggests that it doesn'twork for this purpose. 2 ** Inosine has also been suggested as a possible treatment for Tourette’s syndrome, a neurological disorder. 3
