There is no objective scientific evidence that it will help.

Hello Vidhya.
Thank you for the query.
I have read your question carefully and understand your problem.
But, unfortunately, there is not objective scientific evidence to even suggest that it will have any positive effect in PCOS or any disease for that matter.
Here is a list of side effects though.
Delayed Stomach Emptying.
Digestive Side Effects.
Low Potassium Levels and Bone Loss.
Erosion of Tooth Enamel.
Throat Burns.
Skin Burns.
Drug Interactions.
I hope this answers your query. Feel free to write back if you have any doubts.
