PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
If you forget to take any of the supplements with breakfast or lunch, you can take that dose with dinner. Currently, there are no nutritional supplements for weight loss or PCOS available over the counter that are FDA approved. At present, the FDA does not regulate the manufacture of these types of products. Therefore, the Insulite PCOS System has not been approved by the FDA.

Can surgery treat PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
The removal of ovarian cysts is not an effective way to treat PCOS. Cysts on the ovaries are the result of hormone imbalances that begin with the production of too much insulin. This over-abundance of insulin causes an increase in male hormones called androgens or testosterone, which eventually create the cysts. As a result, removing the cysts does not remove the problem, just a symptom.

Can I still take my multivitamins while on the Insulite PCOS System?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
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.

It depends on whether one of your PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) symptoms is elevated LH. You can get some false positives or misleading results.

Why does the Insulite PCOS System recommend a regular exercise program to reverse PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
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.

Are there any stimulants in the Insulite PCOS System products?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
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.

I don't have a weight problem. Can I still have PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
There is a small percentage of women with PCOS who are considered "lean". They do not have the weight issues that are common with most PCOS sufferers, who experience cascading hormone changes because of their extra weight. Thin women can also suffer from PCOS because of genetic contribution that may be beyond their ability to change. Lean women with PCOS will still benefit from taking the nutrients in our formulas to reverse the metabolic consequences of having PCOS.

Is Dianette an effective treatment for PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
Dianette is a hormone therapy that is synthetic estrogen and progesterone. We are not in favor of synthetic hormones as they cover up symptoms rather treating the cause. Additionally, there are issues with synthetics in terms of a safe and healthy metabolism. PCOS is caused by Insulin Resistance and Dianette does not do anything to treat that condition.

I am diabetic. Can I take the Insulite PCOS System if I am on actos?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - Frequently Asked Questi...
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.

Can I order just the PCOS formula?
