The Top 4 Essential Supplements for Boosting Fertility with PCOS

Posted in Austin Metro on October 12th, 2023

When it comes to female fertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) stands as a formidable challenge, affecting millions of women worldwide. The most common hormonal disorder in females of reproductive age, PCOS involves various hormonal imbalances that can disrupt ovulation, insulin resistance, and more. However, amidst the complexities of PCOS, there exists a ray of hope in the form of certain daily supplements.

PCOS’ Impact on Female Fertility

A leading cause of female infertility, PCOS triggers significant hormonal changes, particularly in insulin, a crucial pancreatic hormone that converts blood glucose into energy. People with PCOS typically develop insulin resistance, where insulin is produced by cannot be effectively utilized. Not only can this disrupt ovarian function but also heightens the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. These hormonal imbalances may disrupt female fertility in a variety of ways, including:

  • Irregular menstrual and ovulation cycles
  • Anovulation – when the ovarian follicles (i.e., fluid-filled pockets in the ovaries that contain eggs) fail to release eggs
  • Elevated levels of androgen hormones that disrupt the normal functioning of the reproductive system
  • Polycystic ovaries – enlarged ovaries with small cysts

The signs of PCOS can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. Its symptoms can vary widely, and not all women with PCOS will experience all of the symptoms. Common symptoms of PCOS include:

  • Menstrual issues
  • Heavy or prolonged periods
  • Acne or oily skin
  • Excessive facial or body hair
  • Male-pattern baldness or hair thinning
  • Weight gain
  • Difficulty losing weight
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep problems
  • Pelvic pain

Nutritional Supplements Found to Support PCOS

Many supplements that have been proven effective in promoting PCOS are antioxidants and nutrients designed to combat reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals. These unstable molecules, when present in excess, can cause oxidative damage and inflammation in the body. That's why we've teamed up with NutraBloom, whose clinical-grade nutraceuticals are meticulously crafted and developed by renowned fertility specialists. These supplements are specifically designed to support PCOS-related fertility issues.

Inositol

A naturally produced sugar and antioxidant, inositol has multiple forms, the most beneficial for PCOS including myo-inositol, which transforms into D-chiro-inositol. It may help to support proper hormonal balance, improving insulin resistance. Myo-inositol, when combined with folic acid (vitamin B9), may improve ovulation and pregnancy rates.

Lycopene

A powerful antioxidant, this carotenoid can potentially help PCOS-related fertility issues by reducing chronic inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, creating a more favorable environment for the reproductive system, improving insulin resistance, and regulating menstrual cycles.

Probiotics

Probiotics may support PCOS by maintaining digestion and increasing healthy gut microbe numbers. For PCOS patients, taking probiotics may improve hormonal imbalances, reduce inflammation, and improve lipid metabolism.

Melatonin

The hormone melatonin regulates others, helping to control the timing and release of female reproductive hormones. For PCOS, due to its antioxidant properties, melatonin may improve egg and embryo quality during ovulation. Melatonin is also well known as a natural sleep aid, which can be particular beneficial for people with PCOS experiencing sleep disturbances and fatigue.
