Here you will find reviews and explainers on supplements sold for hormone balance, PMS, cycle support and PCOS related symptoms.Hormone balance is a vague marketing term, so we focus on what each ingredient has actually been tested for. We check doses, evidence quality, side effects, interactions and the refund policy.Hormone symptoms can have many causes. See your doctor for testing, and ask before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive or take hormonal medication.Can a supplement balance hormones?There is no good evidence that a supplement can balance hormones in general. Hormone problems such as thyroid disease or polycystic ovary syndrome need a diagnosis based on blood tests and a doctor’s care. Products labeled hormone balance often mix herbs and vitamins without proof. Some herbs can act on hormones and interact with medicines, so ask first.Source: Hormones, MedlinePlus
Inositol for PCOS has some trial support. In a review of 26 trials, people taking it were 1.79 times as likely as those on placebo to have regular cycles, and insulin resistance dropped a little. The 2023 international guideline still rates the evidence very low, backs no specific dose or form, and prefers metformin for hair growth and waist size.
