Hi all, I have been diagnosed with PCOS about a decade ago and it has been a struggle with on and off symptoms. Recently, my periods have become very irregular with painful cramps and my gynaecologist recommended taking Inositol and Berberine instead of going back on birth controls. I’ve started on Inositol for now and there has been no side effects so far. But from reading up about Berberine, I am a little worried because I am underweight and my Hba1C results show my current level is not at risk of diabetes yet. We think my PCOS is due to hereditary insulin resistance in the family. I am worried if Berberine might cause weight loss which in my case would be worse for my health in general. Has anyone in similar situation as me taken Berberine and inositol together? How were the effects and which dosage did you go with? Hoping for some advice!
