It will be of great benefit to you if you add a wide variety nutritional supplements to combat your PCOS. There are two supplements you absolutely need to take on a regular basis.

Taking a Chromium supplement daily has be shown to reduce food cravings, improve your chances of losing weight and boost your efforts in finding a cure for PCOS.
There are different types of Chromium, but studies have shown that the most beneficial one for PCOS sufferers is Chromium Picolinate. A typical recommended daily dose is 200-600mcg. This can be increased to up to 1,000mcg per day if you want to have a quicker and stronger effect, but you will need to check with your doctor.
The richest food source of Chromium is Brewer’s Yeast, but other food sources include liver, mushroom, wheat germ, oysters and chicken breast.
Another nutritional supplement that you must make sure you take on a regular basis is a vitamin like substance contained almost every cell of your body. It is important for controlling the way your body metabolises carbohydrate.
The Recommended dose is two 60-mg capsules twice a day and ideally, it should be taken under the guidance of a nutritional therapist.
