What are the best supplements for PCOS?
Before we jump into supplements, please understand that supplements for PCOS cannot replace the
importance of a good diet and exercise. Your diet and regular exercise are your best weapon for
fighting PCOS.
Inositol
There are two main types: D-chiro-inositol and Myo-inositol (often known as just inositol). Sometimes they are used in combination Myo+ D-chiro-inositol
Inositol has insulin-like properties and acts as a second messenger for insulin inside the cells. Inositol is involved in improving insulin sensitivity, reducing androgen, and restoring regular ovulation.
Magnesium
Magnesium, known as natural metformin, improves insulin sensitivity. Three hundred milligrams can be taken daily with food.
Omega 3
Omega-3 fatty acids are good for treating PCOS. Omega-3s help improve fertility, regulate hormones, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce hirsutism, and lower inflammation. It is advisable to take at least 500 mg, which should come from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Vitamin D
The sunshine vitamin improves insulin sensitivity and promotes healthy ovarian follicular maturation. Ideally, you should test your vitamin D levels. Minimum dosage: 1000 IU/25 ug daily; more if deficient.
