Safety Profile
PCOS is most common hormonal disorder in women (8-13%). Root cause is insulin resistance in ~70% of cases. Inositol is game-changer - RCTs show improved ovulation, pregnancy rates, reduced testosterone. Myo-inositol:D-chiro ratio of 40:1 is crucial (Ovasitol). Berberine as effective as metformin in studies. NAC improves multiple PCOS parameters. Diet is foundation - low glycemic, avoid dairy (raises IGF-1 and insulin). Exercise type matters - HIIT/strength better than long cardio. Weight loss not required for all (lean PCOS exists) but helps if overweight. Spearmint tea simple addition. Birth control often prescribed but doesn't address root cause. Natural approach can reverse PCOS in many cases - restore ovulation, reduce symptoms, improve fertility.
