Help...I'm new at this and I need advise

justamy · 06-12-2008, 11:06 PM

Ok so I've been reading all these forum about alternative remedies, and I wanted to try some of these herbs. I went to GNC today and I got Vitex, Saw Palmetto, Milk Thistle, Cinnamon and a Multi Vitamin now my question is that, would it be okay to start all these Herbs at one time or should I start slowing and work my way to all of them and if I should start slowly which ones should I start with? My first goal is to lose alot of weight then go from there? Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
Your fellow PCOS friend,
Amy

First, do you know why you picked all those supplements? Definitely read up on all of them and either take it slow (i.e. small doses) or consult a naturopath. Make sure you aren't doubling up or overdoing anything because of your multi. I have vitex in mine as well as other herbs. Just an FYI. A multi vitamin is great for us PCOS gals regardless I think. And as far as I know, saw palmetto has little to no side effects (of the bad sort) that I've read about. Just keep informed. Herbal supplements can do harm too if you are taking what is wrong for you.
Good luck with finding an alternative way to help your PCOS!
