## Summary

Resveratrol keeps showing up in supplement stacks, and researchers have been testing it for polycystic ovary syndrome. This review walks through how it may affect insulin signaling, inflammation, and hormone balance in lab and animal models. But the authors are honest: actual clinical results in women have been modest and inconsistent. Any benefit seems to depend on the specific type of PCOS and the dose.

## Practical Takeaway

This review suggests resveratrol's PCOS benefits remain unproven in humans so far.
