We do not recommend oral contraceptives because they are synthetic hormones that mask some of the symptoms of PCOS rather than fixing the problems. Treating absent menses with oral contraceptives does not treat the underlying disorder of PCOS and when the contraceptives are discontinued, the PCOS symptoms will persist. Our philosophy is to treat the cause of the disorder so that there is no longer a need for using contraceptives for inducing menses.

Yes. You may take your multivitamins while using the Insulite PCOS System, however not with the GlucX. Because it is a soluble fiber, the GlucX may interfere with the absorption of vitamins (and any other medications). To be safe, we recommend that GlucX is taken at least an hour before meals.

This product has been designed specifically with the PCOS user in mind. Because the genesis of most ovarian cysts is affected by insulin, the Insulite PCOS System is an important strategy for reducing not only the condition but also Insulin Resistance, the root cause of PCOS. The Insulite PCOS System has several elements. The PCOS + formula is designed to reduce circulating testosterone, increase sex hormone binding globulin, and support liver function and hormone metabolism.

No. We do not believe the stimulant approach is beneficial for long term weight loss, which is vital for reversing PCOS in most women. Stimulants can be dangerous when taken on a daily basis and Insulite Laboratories is committed to your well being by providing a lasting, scientifically-based solution to your weight and health problems.

Yes, it is safe to take actos and the Insulite PCOS System simultaneously. Actos is an anti-diabetic drug that is designed to improve the way your insulin is being used or to increase your sensitivity to your own insulin. This drug improves glycemic control and, along with Insulite PCOS, will help you become more sensitive to your own insulin over time. This could help prevent you from becoming resistant to the insulin you are taking or injecting.

Yes. One of the causes of PCOS is excess levels of insulin. The Insulite System will reduce your body's exposure to insulin and this can reduce the recurrence of cysts on your ovaries. Also, the Nutritional and Exercise Guidelines show you ways to change your lifestyle so that you permanently change your body's response to insulin. This will help you reverse PCOS.

There have been no studies examining the effects of pharmaceutical drugs on the Insulite PCOS System and vice versa. However, members of the Insulite Medical and Advisory team can look at the mechanism of action of your medications and the System's supplements to assess the likelihood of interactions. Just contact us to discuss your specific medication, if you do not see it listed in the FAQs. For all medications, we suggest that customers take them separately from the GlucX.

We cannot promise that the Insulite PCOS System will reverse infertility although we do know it can address several of the causative factors behind this condition.

No. There are no ingredients in the Insulite PCOS System that can prevent you from becoming pregnant. In fact, if you are having difficulty conceiving, lowering your insulin is a way to enhance your ability to conceive. We do recommend, however, that, if you become pregnant while using the Insulite PCOS System, you discontinue using the supplements during your pregnancy and then resume them after you finish breastfeeding.

The Insulite PCOS System is specifically formulated to decrease circulating androgens by supplying high doses of saw palmetto, an herb that has been studied thoroughly in the inhibition of testosterone conversion. Additionally, ingredients in this formula will increase sex hormone binding globulin which serves to bind available testosterone and make it unavailable. Additionally, as a woman loses weight, her circulating androgens decrease.

No, there are no ingredients in the formulas that will have a negative impact on blood pressure levels.

Elevated levels of insulin will actually damage the interior lining of vessels contributing to high blood pressure or hypertension.

Yes. If you decide to take glucophage (Metformin) while using the Insulite PCOS System, please make sure to take the glucophage separately from the PCOS-GlucX product. GlucX contains fiber, which may interfere with the absorption of glucophage if they are taken simultaneously. We recommend taking the PCOS-GlucX 4 hours apart from the glucophage. Glucophage acts as an anti-hyperglycemic; it reduces glucose thereby reducing insulin levels.

The main reason we recommend exercise as a critical part of this system is that it will reduce your insulin secretion which is the main cause of PCOS. Exercise is a necessary component of dealing with the symptoms of PCOS. It boosts your metabolism, burns calories, increases the number of receptor sites on your cells' surface allowing glucose to enter the cell and be converted to energy instead of fat. Keep in mind that there is no single strategy that is effective for PCOS.

The goal of the Insulite System is to decrease the production of insulin, rather than increase it.

The formula reduces the damage that results from high levels of blood sugar and insulin. It also contains high quality antioxidant protection that is potent and specialized.

Yes, the diet and exercise recommendations are safe for all people over the age of 12. However, it is recommended that teenagers take the Supplement Plan at half the adult dose since there have been no clinical studies conducted with teenagers using the Insulite System nor any other nutrient formula. Half of the adult dose is: PCOS/GlucX: 3 caps per day; PCOS/ InsulX: 2 caps per day; PCOS/RejuvenX: 2 caps per day and PCOS +: 2 caps per day.

Yes. We recommend that you are careful about watching your insulin dosages and blood sugar levels for several weeks when first starting this program. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels 3-4 times per day especially initially. The nutrients in this formula are effective at reducing blood sugar and the diet changes that we recommend require that most people use less insulin. Both the nutrients and lifestyle changes can cause a drastic decrease in insulin requirements.
