Listen Later

If you’ve ever googled “best supplement for PCOS,” chances are you’ve seen inositol at the top of the list. But with so many options—myo-inositol, d-chiro-inositol, or blends promising the “perfect ratio”—it can feel overwhelming to know what’s legit and what’s just marketing.
In this episode, we’re breaking it all down together:
What inositol actually is (and why it’s not really a vitamin).
The difference between myo-inositol and d-chiro-inositol.
Why research points to the 40:1 ratio for PCOS.
When inositol might be worth considering.
How to pick a quality supplement with confidence.
By the end, you’ll walk away with the science, the clarity, and the confidence to know whether inositol belongs in your PCOS toolkit.
