Question Can inositol improve estrogen:androgen ratio too?

Hi girls!

I've recently been doing some reading and I read that metformin often works for thin cysters because it improves estrogen:androgen ratio. If I'm not mistaken it has to do with the fact that it increases activity of aromatase, but is that increase caused by the regulating of insulin? Inositol is supposed to help with regulating insulin as well, but can I reap the same benefits from inositol as from met?

TIA!

i do not know the answer to your question, but i did recently start taking Inositol and choline. right now i am taking 1500mg or each per day.

that is all i can tell you- i haven't notice any changes.... if anything i am moody and my face is breaking out- but i am hoping it is PMS and AF is on her way... since i am currently at CD 35
