Exercise and lifestyle choices again is super important alongside nutrition. Not only does it regulate insulin, but it can reduce stress and provide a myriad of other benefits for PCOS women. Reducing stress is necessary as cortisol needs to be kept in check, and many women often are at risk of low self esteem or depression because of some of the symptoms that come with PCOS. I think if taking a natural approach, you must consider a holistic approach and thus include all factors of your life.
VITAMINS FOR PCOS:
Chromium enables insulin to function normally and helps the body process (metabolise) carbohydrates and fats. Picolinate, a by-product of the amino acid tryptophan, is paired with chromium in supplements because it helps the body absorb chromium more efficiently. It has been suggested to promote weight loss, build muscle, reduce body fat, and enhance the function of insulin. It may lower levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. A few small studies show promising results and I have used liquid chromium picolinate in the past with good results on losing body fat.

The symptoms of PCOS vary person to person. They often include weight gain, irregular menstruation, infertility, acne, and a male-pattern hair growth, called hirsutism. As most of us with PCOS know,
without treatment, the combination of these symptoms can have devastating and life-changing effects.
