Shouldn't worsen: It contains phytoestrogens, which in studies with genistein (a soy phytoestrogen) showed improvements in pcos symptoms & beneficial effects on hormonal levels. However, before trying an alternative therapy such as pueraria mirifica, u should consult your pcp/gyn/ endocrinologist to get their opinion on the supplement's use vs more traditional treatments.

No better, why?: No, it won't help you at all, just wastes your money. A few women with pcos become pregnant, but generally only after significant weight loss. Therapy such as metformin has a much higher chance of normal periods (in approx. 60% of cases) and a safe successful pregnancy, if desired. Don't get medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
