D-Chiro-Inositol 60 Caps

I started taking DCI the 12th of Dec 2011 and I had my period the 18/19th. That was on only 30mg of DCI with another brand they sell here on Amazon. I got this one because it is the cheaper of the two when you consider the mg amount. I started out with 600mg (1 pill 2 times a day) on this and am now on 1200mgs a day. There are other brands on external websites but I've only tried these two. In my research I found the others to be more expensive. This brand has worked real well for me even though I haven't ovulated yet or had my period. I have PCOS and this is my attempt to get my cycles back since I had my second baby in Oct 21st 2010. I have only had one period on my own since I stopped breastfeeding him the week after he turned one. That period was the end of August. Then my next period came after starting DCI. I think one reason I haven't ovulated yet while on this has to do with taking Wild yam root. I should not have taken so much for so long. The WYR (wild yam root) just messed my cycle up. Oh well live and learn. Anyway I read that it can take up to 2 months for the WYR to get out of your system for it to not be a contraceptive anymore. That was with some one that took it for 6 months straight. I only took it since the first time I started DCI and I stopped it about 2 weeks ago so hopefully I will ovulate soon. Also this passed week I have noticed a drop in my weight with out even trying. I haven't been exercising and not really been watching what I eat. Although I have had more salads this week but I have still been eating sweets like usual. One other thing is that I have had a decrease in cravings for carbs and have got more energy from being on DCI. This happened pretty much the first few weeks I started it. The end of Dec I started on an exercise routine but stopped a few weeks ago from over doing it. I lost 5 pounds while exercising but it took me about 3 weeks for that to happen. I gained it almost all back after stopping exercise. This passed week though I lost the 5 pounds again and the only thing that has changed is my sleeping habits. I have become more tired in the evening and have gone to sleep about 9-10pm and slept through the night. Before I have stayed up some nights until about 3:30am from insomnia. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant but I would like to lose as much weight as possible before that obviously. I will update when that happens. I'm hoping soon because so many woman I know are falling pregnant recently. 3 women at church, my best friend, and another lady on my facebook AND I happened to come across a friends friends wife that is also pregnant. I know I've had two babies already but my clock is ticking and I want to get this baby business done with, lol. I hope this helps anyone that is also TTC with PCOS because I have done so much on my own and know how frustrating and emotionally draining TTC can be. Feel free to ask any questions you might have, I will be happy to answer to my best ability.UPDATE: 8-8-12So I changed brands to the Chiral Balance since I first wrote this review. They have their own website and just recently started stocking their product in my local health food store. I'm so excited to not have to order online and let the heat get to it through the mail. My cycles have gotten shorter each time and I have more energy as time goes on. I am not pregnant yet and have decided to take a long break until I lose more weight. I have lost over 20lbs since taking but I haven't made any other changes so losing weight is a miracle in itself. I have also found out my sister in law and a family friend is pregnant, lol. Funny thing is is that I was never expecting them to get preggo. Oh well, that's the life of a TTCer, lol. Stay positive ladies! I finally have a sense of motivation and only good to look forward to now.

I have PCOS and have been on a long term combination of saw palmetto, vitex, and metformin. I wanted to add this medication because I have weight loss resistance despite regular exercise, low carb diet, and the metformin.The first 2 days I took the d-chiro, I had a good experience. I noticed an immediate down turn in sugar cravings that I haven't had since I first started metformin.However, the next few days, I had excruciating upper abdominal pain and gas pain following taking the medication. I thought it may be another medication I had started taking (DIM) or taking everything at the same time, so I just tried taking the d-chiro alone and stopped the DIM, and still, the same result.I had to stop taking it. I think I may have an allergy to it. I have never been in this type of pain after taking any type of medication. I think this medication could be very helpful for other people, though.

I was diagnosed with pcos in May of 2015, my doctor started me on Metformin which caused some unpleasant side effect (nausea, hair loss etc...) I stopped taking the Metformin 3 month later and began searching for alternative treatments for pcos when I came upon the inositol family. In November I began taking myo inositol (Swanson powder form) along with d-chiro once daily in the morning. It surprisingly gave me a lot of energy, soon enough I found myself at the gym 3-4 days a week to release the energy. In December and January I discovered my menses came right on time. During this time I also lost 15-20lbs. In February I thought something was wrong again because my menses did not arrive on time but surprisingly we received the best news ever, we became pregnant. My husband and I have been trying to conceive since 2013! I am truly amazed at the results! I recommend this product to any woman facing pcos symptoms and infertility issues. This is the first review where I've written more than one line and I hope it helps anyone out there who is facing the same difficulties that I was facing for the past three years.

I ordered these pills to help with my PCOS. I'm currently taking the Myo-Inositol as well. I've only been takin gthem for a week and a half. I haven't noticed anything major in changes. I'm seeing reduced hair on my face and my overall mood has been better. I can't distinguish the results from just this product alone because I'm also taking the Myo-inositol. I did notice that when I received this product that some of my pills were empty. I'm highly disappointed especially because this product isn't cheap.

I've used these for over 3 months with no problems and with great health benefits. Suddenly the last month's batch have stopped working for me. I haven't changed any of my other meds or food in the last month. Either something else is to blame or the amount of active (or unexpired) DCI was not consistent with what's posted on the bottle. It was great, while it worked.

The supplement itself is great for helping with the symptoms of PCOS, however it is hardly ever in stock and the price is always changing. Two months ago the product was $29.95 per bottle, now it is $48.15 ---supremely frustrating to have deal with this price gouging.

Not sure if it's working but since my body did not react well to medications my doctor suggested this. My biggest complaint is how long it took to get my order....over 2 weeks! That's really not acceptable so I will try to find this product elsewhere

I have used another brand of D-Chiro-Inositol before and it seemed like it was more effective at the same dose. Maybe I just don't need this stuff anymore though as I seem to be doing fine without it. I didn't even finish the bottle.
