Mira PCOS Supplements
An inositol supplement that leads with the specification most competitors leave out: a 40:1 ratio of myo-inositol to D-chiro-inositol, which is the proportion used in the PCOS research and the reason the studies reported what they did. Priced at $25.49 and described as created with fertility doctors. The framing around treatment is stronger than a supplement should use, but the formulation disclosure is the best in this ingredient category.

What’s in it
Amounts are shown only where the manufacturer publishes them. Anything without a figure is undisclosed — and for an active ingredient, an undisclosed dose is the central problem with this category.

How the manufacturer says it works
Mira states that scientists have studied different ratios of myo- and D-chiro-inositol and that 40:1 is the most effective ratio to restore ovulation and cycle regularity, and that the supplements were created by experts and fertility doctors to help alleviate symptoms.
What the evidence actually supports
Publishing the ratio is the single most useful thing an inositol product can do. Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol occur in human tissue at roughly 40:1, the PCOS trials that reported benefit generally used supplements matching that proportion, and there is evidence that excess D-chiro-inositol may be counterproductive for ovarian function. A product leading with the ratio is telling you it is built on the research rather than on the ingredient name. Inositol has the most credible clinical evidence of anything in this directory for a defined population, with trials reporting improvements in insulin sensitivity, menstrual regularity and ovulation.
Where that evidence stops
The ratio is published but the actual amounts are not, and dose matters as well as proportion — the trials typically used around 2 to 4 g of myo-inositol daily. 'Restore ovulation and cycle regularity' and 'PCOS treatment' describe treating a diagnosed medical condition, which is beyond what a dietary supplement may claim, and PCOS management belongs with a clinician who can see the whole picture. Inositol has nothing to do with GLP-1 and is not a weight loss intervention, though insulin resistance links it loosely to this category. If you are trying to conceive, anything affecting ovulation should be discussed with the clinician managing that.

May suit
Someone with diagnosed PCOS, working with a clinician, who wants an inositol product built on the ratio the research actually used.
Do not use if
- You are self-treating suspected PCOS without a diagnosis
- You are trying to conceive without medical guidance — this affects ovulation
- You need to know the milligram doses before buying
Frequently asked
Why is 40:1 the number to look for?
Because it is the proportion in which your body actually uses the two forms, and the proportion the successful PCOS trials used. Products deviating from it have not been shown to work the same way, and there is evidence that loading up on D-chiro-inositol specifically may work against ovarian function. When comparing inositol supplements, the ratio is the first thing to check and the amounts are the second.
