It didn't look bad in and of itself. I mean the site claims to want to help women with PCOS and they probably are helping the women who sign up or at least some of them. What they do is all the work, package it for you, and sell it to you. It might also be easier for some people to have someone there helping along the way for motivation etc...

For me, I'm not interested in paying the monthly price for their supplements or being dependent on them. As I can find and read my own studies and articles, compare shop for my own supplements, etc... Also, I didn't like how they didn't list what was in their bottles, but that's probably because they know you can get it without them. But maybe with more digging around I could have found out. I hope this doesn't sound too negative. It might be a good thing for some women especially because it gives them the opportunity to do things differently then with their regular physician.

Also I liked their pcos, etc "in the news" section. That's very helpful:
http://www.pcos.insulitelabs.com/PCOS-and-Insulin-Resistance-in-the-News.php

But basically this says it all:

"My aim was to develop a comprehensive system, including pure neutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease specific) as well as a realistic exercise program and nutrition guide. The supplements I use are highly potent to effect substantial metabolic change. The exercise program and nutritional plan are not only necessary but also moderate and easy-to-follow. The underlying theories are based on well-recognized and accepted science that re-programs neural networks and replaces old, sedentary habits with gradual and permanent lifestyle changes."

And then the added support to do it.......

Interesting stuff!!!

Hi Girls,

Just wanted to let you know that I ordered a one month supply of the supplements - you have to take no less thn 24! pills in one day.
The pack that comes with the supps is not too impressive, just basically explains PCOS (nothing new if you have done even basic research on the net) but I plan to take the supps for 1 month and am visiting a Chinese Doc to get a nutrition and herbal plan as well as acupuncture. He has asked me to bring the supplement bottles to take a look at the ingredients.
By the way, I did find a list of exactly what the supplements contained on the website so it is there somewhere and they also use the fact that if you purchased all of the individual herbs and vitamins individually it would cost a great deal more, which I agree it would, although I suspect if you follow a very healthy diet you may get a lot of them from that. I am no nutritionist so I just ordered them to try for a month maybe two.
By the way Kittykay, are you in the medical field or just an amazingly intelligent researcher?
By the way the diet that they recommend is a low gi diet (in their own words), although they do recommend us PCOS'ers not to consume too large a quantity of Yam's (sweet potatoes), as some low GI recipes & diets contain lots. The exercise that they recommend is just basic exercise. The monthly newsletter is quite interesting though but you can subscribe to that for free through the website.
I will update with any info one I have seen my new acupuncturist, and let you know how I get on.

Take care,

Caroline

Hi Carolini!

I have been meaning to go back to their site some more, but got busy. That's good to know about finding a list of the supplement.! Also, thanks so much for the information!

As for me...

I have a background in information science and currently on the path of Librarian. Probably a Medical Librarian. I was briefly a pre-med student. Considered becoming a naturapathic for awhile too... indecisive....eek!
