There are a number of prescriptions commonly prescribed for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). You’ve probably heard of plenty of them, and you may have even tried some! Medications like birth control pills, clomid, metformin, and spironolactone can all mask some symptoms of PCOS . . . but none of them get to the root issue and all of them have side effects. 

Despite the downsides, many people with PCOS feel like they have to take prescription drugs to increase their quality of life and reduce the risk of long-term complications like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. However, that’s not our only hope! 

A combination of a balanced PCOS diet, slow-weighted exercise, improved sleep, and other lifestyle changes like taking natural nutrition supplements can get to the root of a Cyster’s health condition to actually reverse PCOS and allow you to live symptom-free with PCOS! 

One of the best supplements you can take as a woman with PCOS is Ovasitol. In fact, studies actually find it’s MORE effective than metformin and other PCOS medications without the difficult side effects . . . but that brings up the question: are there any side effects of taking Ovasitol?

Let’s get into it:

Are There Ovasitol Side Effects?

Ovasitol can work wonders on a PCOS body! It gets to the root of the problem by increasing insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormones. This means it can relieve PCOS symptoms like irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, acne, mood swings, hirsutism, hair loss, fatigue, and infertility while lowering high blood sugar levels, improving ovarian function, and bettering your mood. It’s a powerful natural supplement that has been shown to help women thrive with PCOS long-term! 

What Is Ovasitol?

Ovasitol is a dietary supplement that contains a combination of myo-inositol and d-chiro-inositol in a 40:1 ratio, which is designed to support healthy insulin and hormone levels! It’s often used by individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to help manage symptoms and improve overall reproductive health without the side effects of common PCOS medications.

Does Ovasitol Have Side Effects?

For the most part, Ovasitol is pretty well tolerated by people who take it! That’s often why I’ll say it’s side effects-free. However, there are some women who don’t tolerate it as well, especially when it is not taken as instructed (for example, with a meal).

Usually these symptoms are still pretty mild compared to the prescriptions, but in rare instances symptoms can be severe. If that happens, call your doctor right away and stop taking Ovasitol. Again, it’s rare to have symptoms!

How To Take Ovasitol With PCOS

Get Theralogix Ovasitol Powder from Ovafit. 

First of all, you need to find great quality supplements that will work with your PCOS body! There are plenty of inositol supplements out there that are not in that 40:1 ratio and do not include myo-inositol and d-chiro-inositol, which is what you need as a woman with PCOS!

So, go with the best of the best that has been proven to work with PCOS and is third-party tested. On my supplement website, Ovafit, you can get 15% off a 90-day supply Theralogix Ovasitol Powder that’s perfectly formulated for Cysters like you (and me!) P.S. The supply is 90 days because that’s how long it’s recommended to take to see progress in our health.

Put one scoop or packet into a non-carbonated hot or cold drink. 

There are two options when you buy Ovasitol: You can grab loose powder or individually portioned packets. Simply put one scoop or one packet in 8 oz. of your favorite non-carbonated hot or cold drink. It’s flavorless, so it shouldn’t impact your experience at all!

Take it twice a day at breakfast and lunch. 

Do this twice a day at breakfast and lunch. You can put the powder in your water, tea, smoothie, latte, or mocktail! On The Cysterhood app, you can find plenty of Ovasitol-friendly drink recipes like the Peach Mint Tea Cooler, Frozen Coconut Raspberry Mocktail, Lemon & Strawberry Refresher, Gingerbread Latte, Raspberry Rose Smoothie, and more! Download it to find the refreshing drink that’ll make your daily dose of Ovasitol with something you actually enjoy (minus the ingredients that would have triggered your symptoms)! 

Eat foods that are high in inositol too! 

Inositol (the main ingredient in Ovasitol) is found naturally in plenty of foods… it’s just hard to get enough to make a big impact on our PCOS. However, if you’re already taking a supplement, eating additional nutrient-dense options is a great way to further support your body. Here are some foods that are high in inositol to add to your meal plan. 

Stay committed to taking it to see results!

It can take up to 3-6 months to see a change in your PCOS symptoms (that’s why it comes in a 90 day supply). So, staying consistent and committed is key! Work on making it a part of your daily routine and as long as you stay symptom free, keep taking it at least long enough to see results. 

Ovasitol is usually side effect free, but there are a few potential side effects to look out for when you don’t take it correctly!

PCOS can be difficult to deal with. Unfortunately, we are often handed prescriptions and told to lose weight. This “treatment” can be really unhelpful and result in negative side effects from medications on top of chronic PCOS symptoms. This is why I encourage my Cysters to try naturally healing their PCOS using diet, exercise, supplements, and a few other lifestyle changes. 

Supplements are one of the best next steps to healing. They’ll give your body support as you make other changes to hopefully get your body back to thriving as it should, without the hormone balance, inflammation, and insulin resistance! You can find more PCOS-friendly supplements for healing on the Ovafit website!
