Comment:
Have been taking a combo of D and Myo Inositol for PCOS for the last 2 weeks at the recommended 40:1 ration (4000mg Myo to 100mg D). I have a hybrid PCOS diagnosis and I'm 43 - not trying to get pregnant. Horrible side effects thus far - Rapid weight gain, bloating, acne, depression and short temper. I am stopping this treatment TODAY.

The first month I took 1000 mg of myo-inositol in pregnitude (which also contains folic acid) and is 1/2 recommended dose and my cycle was a normal 28 day cycle for the first time in years. I then dropped down to taking it only during the first half of my cycle, and it still worked. However when I stopped I went back to 32 day out of whack cycle. I have mild PCOS. I highly recommend women with PCO
