PCOS treatments: time to take action
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can’t be cured, but your symptoms can be treated.
Treatments for your PCOS symptoms
Treatments for PCOS can vary due to the large range of symptoms, but they often include medication, lifestyle changes or a combination of both.
Lifestyle changes
- Healthy diet: nutrition plays a key role in supporting hormone balance, reducing PCOS symptoms, and improving overall well-being.
- Exercise: regular exercise is important for everyone, but it can be especially beneficial for those with PCOS. Not only does moving your body release endorphins and improve sleep quality, but it also plays an important role and part in weight management. Exercise can also help balance your hormones by lowering oestrogen and insulin levels.
- Topical treatments: over-the-counter skincare treatments can help manage skin concerns associated with PCOS, such as helping to control oil production, reduce inflammation and prevent bacterial growth.
Prescription medication
- Oral contraceptives: healthcare professionals will often advise women with PCOS to take the Pill as it can be an effective method for managing symptoms such as irregular periods and high testosterone levels, which cause excess hair growth.
- Insulin-sensitising medication: these types of medications make the body more responsive to insulin and keep glucose levels steady, which can help promote healthy skin, regulate periods and support weight management.
Supplementing your diet with myo-inositol can also help to improve a variety of symptoms, including regulating periods, improving acne and supporting weight management. Inofolic Alpha and Inofolic Alpha Plus supplements can help with PCOS symptom management, as well as optimising fertility.

The NHS has warned of the possible side effects of the ingredients listed below.
How does the Inofolic Alpha range help with fertility in PCOS?
Inofolic Alpha is a great option for women with PCOS thanks to its unique, evidence-based formula. It combines myo-inositol, a key nutrient for hormonal balance, with alpha-lactalbumin, a whey protein that improves the absorption of myo-inositol.
This is important because up to 38% of women with PCOS struggle to absorb myo-inositol from food or supplements alone. With key ingredients sourced from natural sources and minimal side effects, Inofolic Alpha is an effective choice for improving fertility in women with PCOS.
For women with larger bodies, Inofolic Alpha Plus has a unique patented formulation of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, at an ideal 40:1 ratio, which helps improve metabolism and achieve faster results.
