My weight is out of control and I haven't had AF in ages so I wanted to try something different to get my life in order. I tried Glucopahge for a while and it didn't do anything for me but make me gain weight. I wanted to try some type of Alternative remedy but my brain is on overload with all this information. Can anyone recommend a good supplement that I could start off with? I am insulin resistance w/ PCOS. I had wanted to try Cinnamon, Nopal, Vitex, Flaxseed oil but totally clueless how to start a regimen so then I thought someone had to be taking something that could contain a little bit of everything. Thanks for the help

I've been taking Chromium Piconilate for years. I just recently added cinnamon and those have been working well for me. It's a shame they don/t have a pcos pill, as far as I know you gotta take everything individually...

First thing I'd do is switch to clean eating. Don't worry about calories for the moment...just focus on learning to eat 5-9 servings of veggies, good fats, good proteins.
Another good 'supplement' is vinegar. There are some great threads on how it can impact IR.

I haven't heard much about chromium piconilate......what does that do?
Also, I know you have mentioned that you take saw palmetto (and have had good results) can you estimate how long it took for you to see results???
Also what kind of things has it helped with? Lowering teteserone? Reducing hair?
Thanks!!!

Saw Palmetto is great with lowering testosterone, and some say it helps with reducing hair...this isn't one of my major symptoms so I don't know about that one.
I'd say it was 6-8 weeks before I noticed anything. The first thing I noticed were that my breasts were sore.
CP has helped me with the most annoying parts of pcos (well most annoying to me) boils, irregular periods, IR and I just plain feel better when I take it. I sleep better...everything is better.
Evening Prim Rose also helps with testosterone and hair.
Make sure you are eating well exercising and getting good rest...
