The Insulite System is the considered the finest in the worldand many of our clients have experienced remarkable results, some in a very short timeframe. However, we want to set realistic expectations and give you a feel for how the process works over time. The following are general guidelines to help you understand common conditions and time frames for improvements. Please remember that each one of us has a unique genetic makeup so there will be variations in each individual’s response times. The information below is based upon feedback from women who have used the 5 Element Insulite PCOS System.
PCOS Symptoms & Change
Women on the Insulite PCOS System report that their hormone levels start to balance out in months 1-5: These women report the 5 Elements of the system; The Nutraceutical Element, Food Element, Exercise Element, Addiction Awareness and the Support Element together, help them to make changes at the cellular level they have not been able to make or sustain before.
They find that:
Insulin and glucose levels start to drop
Other hormone levels start to balance out, e.g., levels of testosterone and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) are getting lower; progesterone and estrogen are returning to an optimal balance. As you will see below this may translate into the menses resuming soon, and might cause some initial 'water' weight gain and PMS-like symptoms, especially if it has been a while since your last period.
Better energy: Many our clients report increased energy as early as the first month after starting the System. This is an indication that you’re hormone levels are being better managed. Less fatigue has also been mentioned by our users.
Changes taking place on a cellular level:
Insulin and glucose levels are starting to drop
Other hormone levels are starting to balance out, e.g., levels of testosterone and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) are getting lower; progesterone and estrogen are returning to an optimal balance. As insulin and glucose levels lower and other hormones move toward balance you lay the foundation to better manage PCOS symptoms like, hair loss/growth, fatigue, skin problems, infertility, mood swings and weight gain.
The body is detoxifying and excreting toxins.
An improved sense of wellbeing is reported early on by many women on of the Insulite PCOS system. This is an indication small changes in your diet and daily movement are having a positive effect on your psychology. In addition most women are also receiving better level of nutrients through their food and Insulite supplementation which also enhances their sense of wellbeing and completeness.
Resumption of Your Menstrual Periods is usually a fairly early sign of a positive response to the Insulite PCOS System as is spotting which may indicate that hormone levels are starting to balance out. Initial weight loss is one indication that the System is working for you. Initial water weight gain is less common than weight loss, but it can also indicate the System is working, particularly if it has been a while since your last period.

Facial hair and additional body hair: Some women see a reduction within the first month or two. However, for majority of women it will take longer (5-12 months). Because this excess facial and body hair growth is due to elevated androgens, these masculinizing hormones need to be reduced prior to you seeing changes.
As the insulin resistance is addressed and reversed, and hormone levels become more balanced, the new hair growth should become finer, and less visible. Again, genetic make-up varies from individual to individual. In our experience, some women respond more quickly than others but facial hair growth can often be one of the last PCOS.
symptoms that resolves.
Acne: Initially, acne can worsen for some women during the first month or two. This is often due to a detoxification reaction discussed below.
Many women see their acne start to clear within a few weeks on the Insulite PCOS System. For some -- depending on the number of dietary modifications they are making -- it can take a month or two before change is noticeable. (Severity of both the acne and hormone imbalance is additional factors)
In general, we have found that by the third month, your acne should be reducing.
Detoxification of The Body: Especially during the first 30 days, your body will be detoxifying and excreting toxins. This detox is due to the minor changes in your diet and the increase of nutrients you will be receiving from the Nutraceuticals you will be taking.
The terms "detoxification" or "detox reaction" are becoming much more commonplace these days, but many people are still confused by what they mean. Detoxification is a metabolic process whereby the body reduces toxins in it. Although our bodies possess the ability to eliminate toxins via the lungs, the skin, and the digestive system (which includes the liver and gall bladder), today's environment often leads to our taking in more toxins than our bodies can readily eliminate. As a result, there is a buildup of these toxins over many years. Your body tries to detox these substances especially in the liver.
The Insulite PCOS Nutraceuticals contain powerful nutrients and botanicals that promote liver health and digestive function. Milk thistle, present in the PCOS+ and GlucX, formulas,is a gentle yet powerful liver-protective plant. GlucX is a fiber supplement that promotes digestive health which also gently supports the detoxification process.
Change in Bowl Movements:
Especially during first month as an indication of the detoxification process you may see a change in the rate and consistency of your bowel movements.
How quickly detox resolves depends on both the individual and their lifestyle prior to starting the 5 Element PCOS System. Allowing sufficient time for the detoxification process to work naturally while increasing water intake is recommended. (A minimum eight glasses a day is encouraged)
Weight loss: Depending upon the amount of weight you want to lose, this time frame can be very satisfying in notifying you of the cumulative effect of slow and steady improvement that are occurring as you continue to use the Insulite PCOS System.
Skin tags (Acrochordons): These are benign growths that appear as small pieces of "hanging" skin; there is a link between skin tags and insulin resistance. Once insulin resistance is addressed, we would expect that the formation of skin tags would be reduced. Some of the smaller tags may simply fall off, but we recommend they be removed by a doctor. Hair loss (androgenic alopecia): Androgen levels need to be reduced in order for this symptom to change. We generally see changes within 6-9 months. Some customers report that new hair growth, (along with the decrease in excess hair), takes longer to resolve. In cases where other PCOS symptoms are resolving and new hair growth is not, our Consulting & Advisory Teams recommend that an evaluation take place to rule out other reasons for hair loss.
Facial hair: Although some women experience changes earlier in the cycle, this is a symptom that often can take 6 to12 months for you to see more definitive changes.
And other body hair: As is the case with facial hair, noticeable changes often occur in Months 6 to 12.
Lack of Ovulation is a challenging symptom. The Insulite PCOS System aims to help in regulating and normalizing each woman's cycle. However, for women who do not ovulate, there could be health issues beyond PCOS that may be inhibiting their bodies from responding.
Although results do occur in many women much earlier, it is common for change to occur within 6 to 12 months.
Acanthosis nigricans: is the development of thick dark, "velvety" skin. This condition is caused by an imbalance in hormones especially insulin. While this condition can result in a permanent skin change, we have had many women report that the dark ring and thickening skin around the neck, under the breasts, underarms, knees, elbows, groin decreases and completely resolves when their insulin resistance is addressed. Since this symptom varies for each woman, the timeframe for noticeable improvement can vary, depending on how long your skin changes have been present. We have seen this reportedly change for women in as little as 2-3 months, but may take as long as 6-12 months.
When women ask us about the effect of the Insulite PCOS System on acanthosis nigricans, we explain that the skin cells (melanocytes) that currently exist with this condition will not change. This is due to the fact that reversing insulin resistance and balancing the hormones are not going to transform those particular, existing skin cells. There are some topical prescriptions that may have some positive effect and exfoliating can help shed cells so that a lightening of skin is visible.
Over time, as one's hormones balance, the new skin cells should be lighter. This is one of the last symptoms to improve, but it can improve!
Ongoing improvements remain individualized during this period based on personal health objectives. To maintain the changes you have achieved from this protocol, we strongly recommend that you follow some level of the nutraceutical, nutrition and exercise guidelines of the Insulite PCOS System.
To improve your results, we suggest that you stay in close contact with our Consulting & Advisory Teams who will continue to provide free and enthusiastic support and guidance on diet, exercise, lifestyle and supplement needs.
When Am I Finished With The Insulite PCOS System?
We often hear "My condition has really improved; when am I finished with the System?" First, we encourage you to continue the healthier nutrition, exercise and addiction awareness programs you have incorporated into your life. These will serve to continually support your feelings of health and well being.
At Insulite Laboratories, we also believe that the balanced nutritional support you receive from the nutraceutical formulas are, at a minimum, insurance -- that you will continue to receive vital nutrients that are difficult to consistently obtain, even with a healthy diet. By maintaining this healthy balance, you greatly reduce your risk of reverting to the state of health that brought you here in the first place. And, you can avoid many potential health issues and the physical and emotional pain that accompany them. We truly wish to see you have a joyful life.
The Above Are General Guide Lines
It's important to remember that each one is unique, and therefore, the timeframe, number and level of health improvements can vary from one person to another.
These differences are the result of a number of factors including heredity, lifestyle and severity of condition, as well, as compliance in following our Nutraceuticals, nutrition, exercise, addiction awareness and support system guidelines.
