The Importance of Protein for PCOS Symptoms
Protein isn't just the stuff of bodybuilders and athletes; it's a game-changer for managing PCOS.
Protein is like your personal bodyguard against blood sugar spikes.
When you include more protein in your meals (or drinks), it's like putting a steady hand on the blood sugar rollercoaster, keeping those ups and downs more stable. This stability is crucial for PCOS management, as it helps to fend off those sudden snack attacks and cravings.
Keeping your blood sugar in check is like having a superpower against insulin,
that tricky hormone behind many PCOS symptoms. Think of it as hitting the mute button on issues like unpredictable periods, weight gain, those annoying cravings, and feeling tired all the time. It's like giving insulin a time-out so you can feel more in control and energized.
Protein also has a secret mission:
it's quietly working to lower the production of androgens. These are the hormones that, when they go rogue, can bring along some unwelcome guests like acne and hirsutism (unwanted hair growth). More protein means these hormones are kept in check, leading to clearer skin and less hair-raising moments.
Now, let's talk about sleep.
Ah, sweet, restorative sleep. Higher protein intake can actually contribute to better sleep quality. Think of it as a lullaby for your body, helping you drift off into a peaceful slumber.
And energy?
Protein's got you covered there too. It's like a steady, reliable fuel for your day. No more crashing after a carb-heavy lunch; protein keeps your energy levels more consistent. Imagine sailing through your day with a newfound zest, all thanks to the power of protein.
The takeaway? A little more protein can be your friend in your health journey. It's like having a sidekick in your corner, ready to tackle blood sugar spikes, cravings, hormonal hurdles, and energy dips.
One of the easiest ways to boost your daily protein intake is with a high quality protein powder like The PCOS Protein. With 20g of complete protein per serve and the added benefit of handpicked ingredients like pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, MCT oil and digestive enzymes to tackle PCOS-specific issues, it’s the perfect match.
Boosting your daily protein is easy with a high quality protein powder like the PCOS Protein. Each scoop packs 20g of complete protein, plus special ingredients like pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, MCT oil, and digestive enzymes, all chosen to support common PCOS symptoms. It's the perfect fit to make reaching your protein goals a breeze!
The Power of Pumpkin Seeds for PCOS
Beta-sitosterol, a compound found in pumpkin seeds, is an incredibly powerful tool in managing PCOS symptoms, which is why it's a key ingredient in The PCOS Protein.
Beta-sitosterol is known for its ability to help balance hormone levels, a crucial aspect for people managing PCOS. It plays a role in regulating the levels of androgens, such as testosterone, which are often elevated in PCOS. By helping to normalize these hormone levels, beta-sitosterol can reduce some of the most challenging symptoms of PCOS, like acne, hair loss, and excess hair growth on the body (hirsutism).
Beta-sitosterol also has anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a common issue in PCOS, contributing to insulin resistance and weight gain. By reducing inflammation, beta-sitosterol can help improve insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial for weight management and overall metabolic health in PCOS.
Beta-sitosterol is also known to support cardiovascular health. Women with PCOS are at a higher risk of developing heart-related issues, so incorporating heart-healthy ingredients like beta-sitosterol is a proactive step for long-term wellness.
In The PCOS Protein powder, beta-sitosterol from pumpkin seeds is not just another ingredient; it's a strategic choice to empower people with PCOS to manage their symptoms more effectively. Its multifaceted benefits align perfectly with the needs of those dealing with PCOS, making it an essential component of a holistic approach to managing this condition. Its wide range of benefits perfectly supports many factors that drive PCOS, helping you take control of your symptoms and thrive again.

FAQs
How do I use this protein powder?
There are so many ways to incorporate The PCOS Protein into your daily routine. Our go-to is a morning smoothie. You might like to try Tam’s famous PCOS Repair Chocolate Thick Shake recipe (with hidden cauliflower!).
You can also simply mix up The PCOS Protein in a protein shaker with liquid of your choice. We recommend 10oz/300mL of liquid such as water, coconut water, almond or coconut milk. It mixes smoothly and can be enjoyed as a drink on its own to boost the protein content of your meal.
The PCOS Protein is heat-stable so can be used in baking as well as other snacks like protein balls, mixed into yogurt, chia pudding, overnight oats and much more! We’d love to hear how you are incorporating The PCOS Protein - tag us over on Instagram so we can see @nourishednaturalhealth
See the recipe section for more inspiration on how to use our PCOS Protein.
Does this protein contain dairy/whey? Is it vegan?
The PCOS Protein contains no animal products and is 100% vegan. It is free of dairy and whey-based sources of protein and instead uses organic pea, pumpkin seed and chia seed protein.
What does it taste like?
The PCOS Protein in Double Choc tastes just like rich, creamy chocolate milk. It is sweet without being sickly sweet - allowing you to mix in fruit smoothies or baking without it becoming overpowering. It has a smooth texture and great palatability. It is not bitter in the way some dark chocolate is experienced and is suited to those who love milk or dark chocolate.
Does it blend well with liquids?
Yes! It was a key requirement when we were creating The PCOS Protein that it had great mixability and was not grainy. It mixes smoothly in a shaker so long as enough liquid is used (we recommend around 10oz/300mL of liquid such as water, coconut water, almond or coconut milk).
When should I expect my order to arrive?
You will receive a confirmation email as soon as your order has been dispatched with tracking information available. As our protein powder is made in the USA with the highest quality ingredients, all international orders should expect a 7-14 business day turnaround.

Protein Pancakes
View Recipe
These pancakes swap regular flour for protein powder for a delicious, filling breakfast. The amount of liquid you need for this recipe depends on how absorbent the protein powder is, so you may need to experiment with this a little until you get your ratios worked out. Before frying, you are looking for a fluffy, thick batter consistency - you might need to scoop it out and spread it on the pan with the back of a spoon. If it’s thinner than this and you find it’s crumbling when you flip it, try adding a little more protein powder or a spoonful of almond meal.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 eggs
- ¼ - ½ cup almond or coconut milk
- 1 scoop The PCOS Protein
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp butter, ghee or olive oil to fry
- Optional: handful of blueberries
How to:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and ¼ cup milk, then add The PCOS Protein and baking powder and mix until smooth. If too thick, add more milk, if too thin, add more protein or some almond meal.
- Add blueberries if using
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat then add butter or oil
- Scoop or pour out tablespoons of the mixture and fry until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for a minute or two
- Serve with a spoonful of coconut yogurt, nut butter or fresh berries
Salted Chocolate Freezer Fudge
View Recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 scoop Nourished PCOS Protein in Double Choc
- 2 Tbsp any nut or seed butter (I usually use tahini, but almond butter is great too)
- A few drops of liquid stevia or monk-fruit sweetener to taste
- Good pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut (optional, but adds great texture)
- Optional: extra cacao powder to make it richer chocolate flavor
How to:
Stir it all up, taste for sweetness and chocolatey-ness, and adjust if necessary, then pour into small silicone molds. Place in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours or overnight, then carefully remove from the molds. Eat straight away from the freezer (these melt quickly!) and store extras in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
You can also get creative and add extra things into this freezer fudge like some dried goji berries, cacao nibs or chopped hazel or walnuts if you like more texture.
