🍇 You may have heard of resveratrol supplements of PCOS, but do they actually work?

🍷 Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in red grapes, red wine and some berries. Although some research suggests that resveratrol can have a positive impact on PCOS, but studies are very limited and are mainly done in labs and on animals.

🍇 This means you don’t need to take resveratrol supplements if you have PCOS. You can however enjoy red grapes and red wine in moderation (if you drink alcohol).

👉🏻 Always remember to consult your doctor before taking any supplement.

🤔 Berberine, a supplement that is currently being promoted for PCOS, insulin resistance and weight loss.
Is it worth the hype though?

There is very little research that shows effectiveness of berberine in improving PCOS and insulin resistance.

That does not mean that taking berberine will significantly improve your symproms, especially if it’s the only thing that you’re doing, without changing your diet and lifestyle.

Additionally, PCOS is a chronic condition, meaning long term treatments are needed. However, there are no long term studies to check safety of taking berberine supplements or if it shows effectiveness on the long run.

⚠️ Always be critical of what you see on the internet and social media (especially when it comes to promoting supplements or products that claim to be the next magical cure for a certain condition that you have!) and make sure you consult your doctor before taking any supplement!
