Zinc for PCOS

Doctors often recommend zinc to help women with PCOS symptoms because zinc for PCOS really can help.


Take a look at these 6 symptoms zinc might help you overcome if you have PCOS:

1: Hair loss

(Androgenic Alopecia) or excess hair (hirsutism) can be helped by Zinc because it is an anti-androgen, and since it reduces androgens it can help reverse those symptoms.

2: Inflammation

Is common for women with PCOS. Inflammation inside your body can happen in response to illness, obesity, stress and genetics. Inflammation can produce extra insulin, creating a pathway to testosterone production. Zinc can reduce inflammation because of its antioxidant properties.

3: Irregular ovulation

Is common in women with PCOS and zinc actually is very important for ovulation function, helping follicles mature and improving fertility.

4: Regulating your blood sugar

Can be difficult for women with PCOS, zinc has been shown to have a lot of benefits when trying to regulate your blood sugar. This is because zinc helps  with the production and secretion of insulin.

5: Hormonal acne

Is caused by excess androgens which increase the sebum (excess oil) and since zinc can reduce androgens it can create clearer skin!

6: Depression

Depression can be caused or amplified by a zinc deficiency. Studies show that supplementing zinc can improve your mood.

How can you get zinc naturally?

Zinc is found in many foods. Mostly you can find it in red meat, poultry, and seafood. Zinc is absorbed better from animal foods versus plant foods. Examples of plant based foods with zinc are things like legumes, whole grains, nuts, and dairy.

How much zinc supplementation do I need?

The daily amount provided in S'moo will be perfect which is 30mg. S'moo was created for women with PCOS and it's been helping women rebalance their hormones naturally.


Many people without PCOS have a zinc deficiency. It's estimated that 25% of the world isn't getting the amount of zinc they need.


However having too much zinc can eventually keep your body from absorbing other key vitamins and minerals so keep a health journal and write down what you're doing and the changes you're seeing in order to best find what you need.
