Herbal Supplements for PCOS: Do Popular Blends Really Work?
Some ingredients in popular herbal blends for PCOS, such as myo-inositol, spearmint and cinnamon, have small studies suggesting modest benefits, but none matches proven treatments like lifestyle change, the combined pill, metformin or letrozole. Many blends contain low or unclear doses. Supplements can be an add-on, ideally discussed with your doctor, not a replacement for diagnosis and treatment.
