PCOS can greatly impact on daily life with common symptoms including irregular periods, infertility, acne and excess facial or body hair. While there is currently no cure to PCOS, supplements can help manage symptom management, and so below we have outlined some key supplements that can help individuals with PCOS.
Inositol
Growing evidence supports that inositol can improve insulin resistance and sex hormone ratios for those with PCOS, in turn positively effecting fertility and ovulation.
Our Myo & D Chiro Inositol is specifically formulated for women, to provide support for those with PCOS, promote hormone balance, ovarian function, and overall reproductive health.
Vitamin D
Research has found that vitamin D deficiency is more common in individuals with PCOS than in the general population, meaning it is important for those with this condition to supplement this vitamin.
Low levels of vitamin D can negatively impact symptoms associated with PCOS such as irregular menstrual cycles and infertility. Furthering this, vitamin D appears to improve reproductive and metabolic impairment in PCOS through its impact on insulin resistance, meaning it may be beneficial to consistently take a low dose of vitamin D supplement all year round.
Omega-3
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid most commonly known for its cognitive benefits; however, it also has many benefits for PCOS including its anti-inflammatory properties, ability to lower cholesterol and triglycerides, improving egg quality, and supporting ovulation.
Our Vegan Omega 3 is derived from algae and delivers benefits greater than those of fish oil, making it a great option when looking for a powerful omega-3 supplement.
Vitamin B-12
It has recently been reported that people taking metformin (the insulin sensitiser medication) long-term may suffer from a vitamin B12 deficiency, and therefore this vitamin should be supplemented if you take this medication.
Our plant-based Vitamin B Complex contains vitamin B-12 alongside 7 other B vitamins.
