Vitamins A, D, E, and K all fall into this category, and with each also playing a role in reducing inflammation, ensuring that they get absorbed into your body efficiently will aid you in repairing the damage done by the excess insulin that flows through your veins. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Hemp seeds are high in gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid that is believed to naturally balance hormones. Agave has a low glycemic index (GI) of 17. Cacao allows minerals like magnesium into your system, which helps to improve insulin sensitivity, and iron, which can help to improve hemoglobin counts in PCOS sufferers.
