PCOS Support

PCOS Support

Description

PCOS Support is a combination formula containing ingredients shown to support optimal blood glucose balance, fertility, hormone balance and regular menstrual cycles.†

Functions

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder affecting women of reproductive age in which excess androgens are produced causing irregular ovulation and resulting ovarian cysts. Some of the symptoms of PCOS include menstrual irregularity, weight gain, fertility problems, fatigue and abdominal pain. The overproduction of androgens associated with PCOS also leads to acne, hirsutism and male-pattern baldness. PCOS Support contains several ingredients, including two forms of inositol, along with chromium, fenugreek and cinnamon, that all work together to help relieve these symptoms. Inositol is structurally similar to glucose and can influence hormones as well as insulin response. Myo-inositol and d-chiro-inositol work together as secondary messengers relaying signals to support optimal blood glucose balance.1,2 The inositol pathway also plays a critical role in ovulation by promoting regular cycles, reducing androgen levels and improving fertility.1,2,3 PCOS Support contains a 40:1 ratio of myo- and d-chiro inositol. This 40:1 ratio has been shown to aid the body in restoring healthy follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone synthesis and balanced androgen.1,2,3 Chromium is foundational for its powerful ability to promote reproductive health by supporting ovulation, optimal blood glucose, a healthy body mass index and balancing hormones.4,5 Fenugreek and cinnamon are both backed by clinical studies showing their ability to help support optimal blood glucose balance and healthy menstrual cycles.6

Indications

PCOS Support may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals suffering from symptoms of PCOS who wish to support healthy glucose and hormone balance
