90% Polyphenols, including 162 mg EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) Green tea contains powerful anti-oxidants, which have been shown to be beneficial in a multitude of ways. Most notably for women with PCOS, polyphenols in green tea have been shown to reduce fasting glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin A1c levels, and consumption of tea has been shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Chromium is an essential trace element. Supplementation has been shown to have beneficial effects in people with varying degrees of glucose intolerance ranging from mild glucose intolerance to PCOS to type 2 diabetes.
Manganese Citrate — 2 mg
An in vivo animal study suggests that the combination of manganese and DCI is much more effective than either alone in reducing glucose levels. In the study, test subjects’ blood glucose levels were reduced (over two hours) by 21% with the administration of DCI. With the addition of manganese, the reduction was increased to 47%.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) — 1000 IU
Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS, and is associated with metabolic risk factors such as insulin resistance and low “good” cholesterol levels.
