Inositol
What it actually is
The 40:1 ratio (myo:d-chiro) at 4g/day improves insulin sensitivity, reduces androgens, and restores ovulation in PCOS. Multiple randomised trials support its use. Also helps gestational diabetes prevention.
Why it matters for Pakistanis
If you have PCOS, inositol is one of the few supplements with real evidence. Available in Pakistan as imports — discuss dose with your dietitian or gynaecologist.
