What is the best protein powder for women with PCOS that actually works? - #21845

Genesis

I am struggling to manage my PCOS symptoms and I feel like my nutrient intake is all over the place. I've been wondering what the best protein powder for women with PCOS is. My doctor told me that maintaining a balanced protein intake is crucial, but the choices out there are so confusing! I’ve tried a few, but my body didn’t really respond well to them. I thought maybe a plant-based protein would be best since it’s lighter on my stomach and, you know, I read somewhere that it can be easier digested or somthing. But then, I hear that some powdered protein can be loaded with sugar and unnecessary additives, which is obviously not good for someone like me dealing with PCOS. I tried this soy protein before and honestly, it didn’t mix well in smoothies, tasted kinda chalky, and didn't seem to give me any boost. Do any of these best protein powders for women with PCOS actually help in weight management or regulating hormones? Also, how do you figure out your correct dosage? Like, should I be using it daily or just on workout days? I've read that some women swear by pea protein — it’s got some decent amino acids and supposedly keeps you full longer? But then what about whey protein? Is that even safe for PCOS? I've read it can cause some issues intollerance wise. Someone on a forum mentioned that sweeteners in these powders might affect insulin levels also, which I really don't want. It’s just so much info to sift through. I just wanna find a reliable and good option that doesn't mess with my health. Seriously, can someone please help me identify the best protein powder for women with PCOS that really works? Has anyone had success with any brands they can recommend? Ugh! I'm just so confused and would appreciate any insights on real experiences instead of just what marketing says! And, oh, my daily routine is already a little hectic. I’m trying to balance work, managing my symptoms, and looking after my health. I’m hoping to start a new fitness plan soon and I want the right supplements to support me. Honestly, any recommendations on nutrition programs or guidance along with the best protein powder for women with PCOS would be super helpful! Thanks in advance for any advice!
