Coffee (caffeinated) and PCOS: what 6 women report

The short answer: We're still collecting community data on coffee and PCOS symptoms. Add your reaction below to see how it compares.

Coffee is a tricky one for PCOS. It raises cortisol (already elevated in many women with PCOS) but also has antioxidants that may help insulin sensitivity. The community is split, and your response probably depends on your adrenal stress level.
