💊 Supplements for PCOS—Which Ones Actually Work? 💊

PCOS can feel frustrating when it comes to managing symptoms like irregular cycles, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain—but the right supplements can make a huge difference!

✨ Scroll down to see the top 6 supplements that help regulate hormones, support insulin sensitivity, and improve overall well-being.

🔍 Reminder: Supplements are a tool, not a magic fix. A balanced diet, lifestyle habits, and targeted nutrition coaching make all the difference!

💊 6 Supplements & Their Recommended Dosages for PCOS

1️⃣ Inositol (Myo-Inositol & D-Chiro Inositol)

• Dosage: 2000 mg of Myo-Inositol + 50 mg D-Chiro-Inositol twice daily (Total: 4000 mg Myo + 100 mg DCI per day)
• Why? Supports insulin sensitivity, ovulation, and hormone balance.

2️⃣ Magnesium (Citrate, Glycinate, or Threonate)

• Dosage: 200-400 mg per day (best taken before bed)
• Why? Helps reduce insulin resistance, lower stress hormones, and improve sleep.

3️⃣ Omega-3s (Fish Oil or Algal Oil for Vegans)

• Dosage: 1000-3000 mg of EPA & DHA combined per day
• Why? Reduces inflammation, supports metabolic health, and balances hormones.

4️⃣ Vitamin D3

• Dosage: 2000-5000 IU per day (depending on deficiency levels)
• Why? Many with PCOS are deficient, and it helps with insulin resistance and hormone balance.

5️⃣ Zinc (Picolinate or Citrate)

• Dosage: 15-30 mg per day (take with food to avoid nausea)
• Why? Supports ovulation, skin health, and reduces excess androgens (like acne and hair loss).

6️⃣ Berberine

• Dosage: 500 mg 2-3 times per day before meals (Total: 1000-1500 mg per day)
• Why? Works similar to Metformin in improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Always check with a healthcare provider before starting supplements, especially if on medication.
• Take Vitamin D3 with a meal containing fat for better absorption.
• Omega-3s should be from a high-quality, mercury-free source.
• Berberine should be cycled (e.g., 8 weeks on, then 2 weeks off) to avoid gut microbiome disruption.
