Berberine для PCOS-Related Weight Management

C Доказательства Доказательства ограничены небольшими исследованиями, однако имеются некоторые положительные сигналы.

Systematic reviews suggest berberine may be comparable to metformin for insulin resistance in PCOS. Small RCTs show improvements in BMI, testosterone, and metabolic markers. Berberine is commonly combined with inositol in clinical protocols.
