Can a supplement duo quiet PCOS-Linked inflammation?
NCT ID NCT07821073
First seen Sep 15, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing whether a daily combination of myo-inositol and folic acid can lower two markers of inflammation, NLR and CRP, in overweight women aged 25 to 35 with polycystic ovarian syndrome. The trial compares this supplement pair with metformin plus folic acid over three months. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, take their treatment daily, and give blood samples at the start and end of the study to measure the markers.
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 plus folic acid
- What this could lead to
- If it works, myo-inositol plus folic acid could offer a supplement-based option for easing the low-grade inflammation linked to PCOS.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, short study of 50 women, so any difference in inflammation markers may be modest or fade with longer use. Supplements can also cause stomach upset or other side effects.
