A member asked:
Taking beta sitosterol 1500 mg only (no meds i can tolerate) daily for pcos. it reduces my t levels and gives me a period. is this safe long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lack of evidence: There is not much evidence to support the use of beta sitosterol for PCOS. The theoretical mechanism of action is that it would influence the enzyme 5-Alpha Reductase. Some studies have been done regarding Prostate disease but the outcomes were not promising
