Inflammation

PCOS is linked with low-level inflammation in the body. This constant low-level inflammation is another contributor to the ovaries making too many androgens. Chronic inflammation might also play a role in making the body resistant to insulin. This cycle of inflammation, hormone imbalance, and insulin resistance is part of what makes PCOS a complex condition.

Supplements can help shift the body into more of an anti-inflammatory mode. Omega-3 Fatty Acids, for example, can aid in reducing inflammation and potentially enhance insulin sensitivity.
