Could a protein boost make a PCOS supplement work better?
NCT ID NCT07629895
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares myo-inositol alone versus myo-inositol plus alpha-lactalbumin in 82 women with PCOS who want to conceive. Over 12 weeks, researchers will track pregnancy rates, menstrual regularity, and metabolic changes. The goal is to see if adding alpha-lactalbumin improves how well myo-inositol works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Myo-inositol and alpha-lactalbumin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a more effective supplement combination for improving fertility and metabolic health in women with PCOS.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 82 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplements may not work better than myo-inositol alone.
