💕 PCOS girlies: have you experienced major side effects from supplements?

[Anonymous]

I ask this because I’ve experienced some major shocking news. So , I’ve been on Myo and D Chiro Inositol & Ashwaganda (the culprits 💔) since May of this year, and Berberine since August and so far I’ve been seeing major improvements in my PCOS symptoms after struggling for years! My period has been regular ever since and PMS symptoms are non existent. I’ve also been feeling my absolute best 🎉
BUT…I went for my yearly blood work and I saw that my liver enzymes (AST and ALT) are drastically high. My hba1c is also in the diabetic range 😰I had no symptoms of this whatsoever, I was absolutely shocked to see my results. My diet and lifestyle are healthy and I am still trying to wrap my head around this.

From what I gather, the Inositol and Ashwaganda increased liver enzyme which most likely caused pancreas to over produce insulin and spike my blood sugar for some months which resulted in my hbA1c being increased to the diabetic range from normal range.

I wanted to come on here not only to ask if anyone has ever experienced anything similar, but to also raise awareness and let you all know the potential side effects of certain supplements. Stay safe and healthy girls 💕

What is the brand name that you're taking because if you're getting it from tictok
There are counterfeits from China. And they're not really for sure what's in those tablets

I just take vitamins and protein powder.

I also watch lesbian porn and don't masturbate... It gives me all the energy I need to get things done.

Vaginal things.

This is why you should consult a Dr before taking vitamins and supplements especially when mixing a bunch of different ones.

No, but I workout regularly and take Vitamin D3. That has helped my cycle stay regular. 😊

Always check with a doctor

Hey, thanks for the response. I do prefer a professional’s opinion but sometimes I like to hear from those who may have first hand experience with this issue. I’ve visited 5 doctors recently and only one was a bit helpful. I’ve been going through this health issue for 15 years and majority of doctors I’ve been to just prescribe birth control (I was 13 years old the first time) and tell me to come back whenever I’m ready to have kids. The frustration gets real lol
