Inositol — specifically the 40:1 ratio of myo-inositol to D-chiro-inositol — is considered the gold standard natural treatment for PCOS. It acts as an insulin sensitizer, restoring ovulation in 60-70% of women within 3 months. It also reduces testosterone levels, improves egg quality, and lowers the risk of gestational diabetes.
Take 4,000mg myo-inositol + 100mg D-chiro-inositol daily (40:1 ratio is critical). Split into 2 doses — 2g morning, 2g evening. Take with or without food. Allow 3-6 months for full hormonal rebalancing.
Generally very safe — water-soluble vitamin-like compound. Mild GI upset possible initially. D-chiro-inositol alone at high doses may worsen egg quality — always use the 40:1 ratio. Consult doctor if on metformin.
