Option overload!!

[Kima2222]

oook so I've been searching on the forums and amazon for about an hour now.. there are just so many options for supplements - which I guess could be a good thing but I dont know what works best..

I'm on amazon right now, I have saw palmetto and vitex in my cart...good idea?? I only have elevated testosterone levels with no periods...glucose is fine, cholesterol is fine, progesterone is fine, and estrogen (which was tested back in august) is fine..........total testosterone is 91 ng/dl

I just want to be regulated and clear up my acne...and if my abnormal hair growth decreases that will just be a cherry on top!

I'm currently not taking anything else

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Definitely the Saw Palmetto and Vitex! The SP supposedly helps decrease testosterone levels. I've been taking one pill a day (450 mg) since the beginning of the year. I take Vitex too. Can't really say if they have helped a whole lot but they're probably benefitting me in some way. I have noticed that facial hair/acne has subsided a bit. Not breaking out as often and noticed that I haven't been plucking hairs as much. Plus, they're cheap supplements! I also recommend Vitamin D as PCOS can cause deficiencies.

thanks! i read reviews that vitex can cause depression and anxiety??...have you or any one else reading found any truth to this with your experience?

I have not experienced that with Vitex. It's supposed to balance hormones. I think I may have read a few cases where people reacted negatively to it but I haven't noticed anything too out of the norm since taking it.
