Safety Profile
PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder in women (about 8 to 13 percent). Insulin resistance plays a role in most cases. Inositol has randomized trials showing better ovulation and lower testosterone, with the 40:1 myo to D-chiro ratio most studied. Small trials suggest berberine improves insulin markers. NAC has trials for several PCOS measures. Diet and exercise are the foundation. Birth control is often prescribed for cycle control; it doesn't address insulin resistance, so this protocol can be used alongside it, and any change to it is made with your prescriber. Many people see more regular cycles, fewer symptoms and better fertility with this approach.
