Unwanted facial and body hair for women is typically caused by a very treatable imbalance in hormones known as androgens.
These excess male hormones are typically present in women with PCOS, which affects around 10% of women globally1.
The science shows us that for many women with PCOS excess androgens will lead to symptoms like unwanted facial hair, acne, scalp hair thinning, excessive weight and irregular cycles. By balancing androgen levels women can block their effects in the body.
Blocking the effects of androgens can be an effective way to naturally improve the symptoms of PCOS..2

So if all we’ve got to do is balance androgens why do I need to continue reading this article right? If only it were that simple…
Supporting androgens levels naturally can be extremely difficult.
Finding the right product with a therapeutic dose of natural substances to support androgens levels is key.
In the course of our research, we discovered a few things the supplement industry probably wishes we’d keep under wraps. Including how:
Many androgen blocking vitamins have very little of the high-doses of nutrients you need to truly make an impact.
In fact, many of the products we researched have the potential to worsen your symptoms.
Therapeutic Doses:
Ensure that you are taking a product with therapeutic levels of the right ingredients.5
Saw Palmetto included:
A minimum of 200mg daily is recommended to balance androgen levels. 8
Multiple ingredients:
There are a number of proven ingredients, like reishi mushroom and green tea, to support androgen levels. It's critical to have a blend of all of them. 6
Taste:
Look for either capsules or flavor-free powders to ensure you can stay dedicated to your routine.
Reishi Mushroom included:
One of the most proven ingredients for balancing androgen levels in women. 7
Gummies:
Gummies almost never have therapeutic dosages and are often heavy sugar.5
Tribulus:
Tribulus is not recommended for women looking to balance androgen levels. 6
Low dosages:
Look for significant dosages - we've done the work for you below by recommending high-dose products. 3
Libido boosting supplements:
