Hey ladies! I would like to take the right combination of vitamins/herbs to regulate my cycles and decrease my symptoms but I'm not sure what that combination is.

Currently I'm taking Optivite mulitvitamins, Fish oil, Vitamin D, and a probiotic.

I know there are so many herbs and vitamins that people talk about on here but I'm not sure how to determine the right combination for me. Thanks!!

Hi harleybw, for Vitamin D, next time you have blood drawn, ask your doctor to run a check on your vitamin D level. This will let you know how much you should take. You can ask for similar with vitamin b, iron etc. I know there is a link between vitamins b & d deficiencies in ladies with PCOS.

I agree I didn't have my blood drawn but am pretty sure I was deficient. I take 5000IU daily. You can see what else I take in my signature. The next thing you should look at is something called Myo-Inositol or D-chiro inositol (DCI). There are some good threads on here. Some have studies in them that I posted. If you can't find them let me know.

Hey, I believe you should also take Vitex (agnus castus) and vit B 6, both of which help hormonal balance. You can also see from my signature that I take more than these two. best of luck!
