Phase 1 — Testing in a small group (usually 20–80 people) to find a safe dose and watch for side effects.
This trial is testing red yeast rice, a traditional fermented supplement, to see if it can help improve symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. Researchers want to understand how this medication might work by studying changes in gut bacteria and their metabolites, which may play a role in reducing inflammation related to PCOS.
PCOS is a common condition affecting women's reproductive health and metabolism, often involving chronic inflammation. This medication is being studied because it may offer a natural way to address inflammation and improve symptoms through changes in the gut microbiome.

The entire commitment is about six months with three main visits.
