Myo-Inositol, the best inositol supplement for PCOS: a deep dive
If you’ve been trying to conceive for a long a** time with PCOS, look no further. This post is for you. We’ve done our research, backed by clinical studies. The best inositol supplement for PCOS? The jury is in: myo-inositol can help women with PCOS find pregnancy success – and we have our own Premama PCOS pregnancy success stories to prove it!
First, let’s set the scene: How PCOS Impacts Fertility
PCOS is the most common cause of infertility among women. You can read our in-depth blog post all about PCOS as well as learn about our best tips on how to manage PCOS symptoms, here.
For now, here’s the quick summary. Essentially, PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects egg maturation and ovulation (aka what you need for PCOS pregnancy success). PCOS affects three important hormones for reproductive health: estrogen, androgens, and insulin.
How Insulin Resistance Impacts Women with PCOS
Women with PCOS often develop insulin resistance, affecting other reproductive functions. While your body is insulin-resistant, your ovaries remain insulin-sensitive, which wreaks havoc on reproductive hormones. Insulin-sensitivity in the ovaries plus increased insulin production due to overall insulin resistance increases Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) are necessary for egg production and maturation. For women with PCOS, the body matures half of an egg, with the increase of Luteinizing Hormone. But there isn’t an increase of FSH to mature the other half of the egg. As a result, the egg doesn’t fully mature and often dies, leading to loss of ovulation and period and affecting estrogen and progesterone production, too.
Enter stage right: Myo-Inositol (*angels singing*)
How could Myo-Inositol be the absolute best inositol supplement for PCOS? Well, myo-inositol is a glucose substance naturally produced by the body that can help improve insulin sensitivity and promote hormone balance in women with PCOS.
Inositol vs. Myo-Inositol
The main difference between inositol and myo-inositol is that inositol is a sugar abundant in the brain and mammalian tissue whereas myo-inositol is a specific molecule of inositol. Myo-inositol is often said to be the most stable and important molecule of inositol.
Why Myo-Inositol is the best supplement for PCOS
How does Myo-Inositol Work? Myo-Inositol functions in the body in two ways:
- It helps in the correct binding of insulin to insulin receptors
- It helps with appropriate signaling after binding of insulin to its receptors.
Myo-inositol is clinically proven to increase insulin sensitivity in the body and regulate LH production. It can soothe many PCOS symptoms and help regain ovulation by improving insulin sensitivity at a cellular level.
In turn, myo-inositol can help women with PCOS with egg maturation and ovulation, necessary for conception and PCOS pregnancy success.

Finding PCOS Pregnancy Success with Myo-Inositol
Read the following reviews from verified Premama users!
PCOS Infertility [+ PCOS Pregnancy Success]
“I have PCOS and have been trying to get pregnant for the last two and 1/2 yrs naturally. I had given up hope that pregnancy the normal way was not going to happen for me if I did not conceive in the next 3 months. My endocrinologist suggested I add Myo-inositol as [the best inositol supplement for PCOS] to assist in both insulin resistance and fertility. I had already taken Myo-inositol from another source for 3 months, but had not conceived. I decided to switch and start taking the Premama Fertility Support, and much to my surprise I'm pregnant now after taking it for only 1 month. I also noticed that several of my PCOS symptoms seemed to get better as I took this, and plan to continue to take the Fertility Support during and after pregnancy to help with my PCOS symptoms...Thank you Premama!!” - Cynthia T.
Worked for me!
“Recently diagnosed with PCOS after trying to conceive for about a year. Tried [Fertility Support for Her] for 3 weeks and got my positive test results a couple days ago! I'm shocked, excited, and amazed!” - Caroline M.
Amazing Product!
“I bought 2 months worth of [Fertility Support for Her] and wasn’t sure it would help me, since I don’t have PCOS and I ovulate every cycle, but I ovulate very late (day 25) for the past year since my loss. This cycle I tried this and I ovulated within the normal range on day 19!! It’s the only thing I added besides a calcium supplement. I HIGHLY recommend this product!” - Tara

This supplement has made my life… I’m still in shock. I have PCOS and this worked perfectly for me. Highly recommend, sending baby dust everyone’s way.” - Victoria S.
