* Inability to lose weight
* Hair Loss
* Fatigue after meals
* Hormone Imbalance
* Sugar Cravings
On Blood Chemistry Tests,
PCOS is linked with Insulin Resistance Patterns:
* Fasting Glucose over 100
* Insulin over 5
* Triglycerides over 100
* Cholesterol over 240
* Especially if triglycerides are higher than Cholesterol

What is DCI?
DCI is what is known as a secondary messenger in the insulin signaling process and is considered an insulin sensitizer. When you eat food, sugar is extracted and goes into your blood. Your pancreas releases insulin in response to the sugar. The insulin tells the cells of your body to either burn the sugar for energy or to store it as fat for later. As the sugar level goes down, the insulin level goes down as well. Insulin doesn't communicate directly with the cells, however. It communicates through a secondary messenger made out of DCI.
Another important thing that happens to women when there is insulin in your blood: the ovaries release testosterone in response to the insulin. This is natural. As the sugar is disposed of, the insulin level goes down and the ovaries stop releasing testosterone.
If you don't have enough DCI, the insulin level stays high, which means that the ovaries keep producing testosterone. This high level of testosterone is the origin of many of the signs and symptoms of PCOS—anovulation (not ovulating), irregular or absent periods, ovarian cysts, unwanted body hair, hair loss, belly fat, acne, infertility, etc.
For many women with PCOS, DCI can solve these problems by allowing the body to dispose of sugar effectively. This video animation describes D-chiro-inositol’s effects and benefits in a bit more detail:

Benefits of Saw Palmetto and Milk Thistle for PCOS
For Hair and Skin
Many women with PCOS struggle with loss of head hair, unwanted body hair, darkened skin in the underarms, neck and groin, skin tags, and early onset of liver spots. These common signs of PCOS can be caused by the presence of too much male hormone (specifically, DHT). Moreover, male hormones and insulin resistance (high glucose levels) stress and damage the liver; in one study, more than half of women with PCOS were found to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and most of them had no knowledge of having the disease.
Ingredients
Saw palmetto slows the formation of the hormone DHT, thereby protecting the hair of the scalp and preventing it from falling out. It also protects the follicles over the rest of the body to keep body hair from growing longer, thicker, and darker. Saw Palmetto has long been trusted by PCOS women to help hair grow only where it is wanted.
Our milk thistle seed extract is 80% silymarin, which been shown to protect the liver from stress and to help repair existing damage. The liver is the body's clearinghouse and must be in good working order to maintain healthy skin. Our formula delivers 160 mg of silymarin in every capsule.

Dr. Carr's PCOS Bundle Includes:
1 bottle of Women's Formula AM & 1 bottle of Women's Formula PM
1 bottle of Women's Formula AM & 1 bottle of Women's Formula PM
Women's Formula
The AM dose provides a complement of necessary vitamins to start your day off right. The PM dose is a blend of important minerals to support a healthy lifestyle.
Two of the most important minerals for any woman are iron and calcium. But these essential minerals compete for absorption. Separating the iron (AM dose) from the calcium (PM dose) allows for better absorption of both. Iron absorption is further enhanced by the presence of vitamin C in the AM dose. It's a win-win!
The PM dose also contains 1000 IU of vitamin D, which studies have shown to promote better sleep.
