4gm of m-inositol is the recommended daily dosage.

Plant Proteins and PCOS - Protein is also crucial when managing PCOS through diet. Aside from supporting muscle growth, metabolism, and providing sustained energy, protein also helps regulate blood sugar, insulin production and control weight. Whole plant - based proteins have a number of advantages over animal proteins. They are free of cholesterol and saturated fats, high in fibre, vitamins, minerals, Phytochemicals and essential amino acids. They're also free from residual hormones which may be present in animal proteins.
Myoinstol in the right quantity with complimentary ingredients can help with PCOS.
The six main symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) commonly include:
Irregular Periods
Infrequent, prolonged, or unpredictable menstrual cycles, often due to irregular ovulation.
Excess Androgen Levels
High levels of androgens (male hormones) can lead to symptoms like acne, excess facial and body hair (hirsutism), and sometimes hair thinning on the scalp.
Difficulty Losing Weight
Many women with PCOS experience weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, and may find it challenging to lose weight.
Ovarian Cysts
Polycystic ovaries appear enlarged and contain many small, fluid-filled sacs (follicles) that surround the eggs, although not all women with PCOS have ovarian cysts.
Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is common in PCOS, where the body struggles to use insulin effectively. This can lead to higher blood sugar levels and may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Fertility Challenges
Due to irregular ovulation, many women with PCOS may have difficulties conceiving.
