92. Should I be taking Inositol?

Welcome back to The Down to Earth PCOS Nutrition Podcast!

Today I am outlining why Inositol (known most commonly as the brand name Ovasitol) may vastly improve your insulin-related PCOS symptoms, improve fertility and restore a natural menstrual cycle. I’ll be backing up these claims with scientific evidence and giving you some ‘best practices’ for taking inositol with PCOS!

While there are actually 9 types of Inositol, I am talking specifically about Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro Inositol and how they, with the correct dosage, can improve insulin resistance, lower the risk for heart disease, improve hair loss (or hair growth) and aid in weight loss among other benefits.

When it comes to supplementation, it’s important to consult your doctor for personalized recommendations. Please keep in mind that this episode is purely for educational purposes, and my goal is to equip you to make the best personal decision about supplementation.

With that said, should you choose to start taking Inositol, I am sharing some general best practices to consider when picking the right product as well as recommended use for it.
