PCOS & Endometriosis Supplements
As someone who has PCOS and Endometriosis these are supplements I take:
Maca- 1 pill a day
Helps mood and anxiety, boost energy, regulate menstrual cycles, and improve fertility
Evening Primrose Oil- 1 pill a Day
Helps balance hormones, anti-inflammatory, helps cervical mucus to improve fertility
Prenatal Vitamin- 1 pill a day
Take this before ttc, during ttc, and while pregnant, provides vital nutrients that support healthy egg growth, and helps over all reproductive health
Folate- 1 pill a day
Folate is technically B9 Vitamin, essential for regulating ovulation and improving chances of pregnancy, yes prenatal has folate but this helps aside from prenatal
CoQ10- 1 pill a day
Improves insulin resistance, hormone balance, improved egg quality, reduce inflammation and stress, improve mood
Myo-Inositol - 2 pills a day (PCOS needs a total of 4000mg to help minimum)

I also take prescribed Metformin 2,000mg
As well as cinnamon 500mg 2 pills 1x daily and
Blood sugar support 500mg 2 pills 1x ( 500 chromium and 500 berberine, 300mg cinnamon) daily however do not take these two if you become pregnant! They both help with blood sugars and weight loss :-)

Understanding the right supplements can greatly enhance the management of conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. Maca, known for its adaptogenic properties, helps stabilize mood and increase energy while supporting reproductive health. Evening Primrose Oil is beneficial for balancing hormones and may assist in cervical mucus production, aiding fertility. Prenatal vitamins are crucial, providing essential nutrients that foster healthy egg growth and enhance overall reproductive wellness. Folate, or Vitamin B9, is specifically important for ovulation regulation and improving pregnancy chances. CoQ10 not only aids in hormone balance but also enhances egg quality and may reduce inflammation. Myo-Inositol has garnered attention for its role in improving insulin sensitivity and supporting hormonal regulation, vital for those with PCOS. Alongside prescribed medications such as Metformin, cinnamon has shown potential in managing blood sugar levels when taken responsibly. It's important to consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new supplements, especially during pregnancy.
