Supplements For PCOS

POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME

Having coached women for 8 years and specialising in womens health and hormones I really wanted to bring everything i've learnt about supplements for PCOS to this blog post. 

PCOS is present in 1:10 women

It is classified by the Rotterdam criteria by having 2 out 3 clinical signs. 

• Increased testosterone levels
• Menstrual cycle dysfunction 
• Polycystic ovaries. (Cysts present on your ovaries) 

It affects many women metabolically to the point where reaching body composition goals and fat loss is very challenging.
