PURE ENCAPSULATIONS - Inositol  250 g 

Women with PCOS experience various endocrine and metabolic challenges resulting from increased insulin production. For example, high levels of insulin can affect glucose metabolism and lead to weight gain. Insulin may also stimulate the secretion of male sex hormones in the ovaries. Elevated levels of these hormones can result in excessive hair development, acne, and abnormal ovulation. In addition, women often experience menstrual cycle irregularities and difficulties with conception.

Inositol is a component of the B-complex family and is mainly obtained through nutrition as myo-inositol. Research suggests that myo-inositol assists in managing these conditions by enhancing healthy glucose metabolism. Myo-inositol also plays an important role in the inositol triphosphate second messenger system that regulates oocyte development and menstrual cycle activity. Clinical trials involving women with PCOS have found that myo-inositol supplementation decreases the time to first ovulation, reduces serum testosterone levels, increases ovulation frequency, and elevates estradiol levels (a marker of follicular maturation).

For women with PCOS, this formula provides:

• Promotes healthy glucose metabolism.
• Aids in normalizing menstrual cycle irregularities.
• Promotes the restoration of normal ovarian function, ovulation, and oocyte quality.
