I have pcos and am trying to get pregnant. i am currently taking metformin 500x1 though my insulin levels are normal. can i take carcinia cambogia?

Maybe: It's not recommended to take it if you are trying to get pregnant, but that is because no one knows what kind of effects it has on the fetus. I wouldn't worry about it affecting your blood sugar as you are taking metformin for pcos related fertility issues rather than diabetes.

Despite all the hype: There is no randomized clinical studies to show that carcinia cambogia is effective for weightloss or safe for pregnancy, nor is it fda approved. Clients receiving care at mercy report that it is ineffective.
