4 self-reported experiences with Zinc for pcos
Tried
After 8 weeks on Zinc, I'd say it made a modest difference to my fatigue and sugar cravings. Hard to tell if it was this or other lifestyle changes. Not sure if I'll continue long-term.

Zinc helped with the acne and excess hair growth associated with my high androgens. Over three months the cystic breakouts reduced in frequency and severity. It's not a complete solution but it's a useful and well-evidenced addition for the androgenic symptoms of PCOS.
