Supplements Moderate evidence

Inositol

A sweet-tasting carb relative used in PCOS and sleep stacks.

Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol show up in insulin-sensitivity and PCOS research. People also take it at night for a calmer brain. It is not a free candy; high doses can loosen stool and is not a DIY fertility protocol.

How to use

2–4 g myo-inositol, often in the evening, or as a split dose with meals.
