Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that occurs when the ovaries produce too much androgen, a hormone necessary for estrogen synthesis. The symptoms of PCOS can vary – unwanted facial hair, acne, unpredictable cycles, fluctuating weight and inflammation are all common markers of this condition.

PCOS-Pro Ultra Relief offers support in the form of D-chiro-inositol, which is proven to be effective for managing and helping relieve symptoms of PCOS. It does this by normalizing menstrual irregularities, promoting glucose metabolism, restoring quality oocytes, supporting healthy cholesterol levels and more.

Inositols are a type of sugar produced naturally in the body. The two inositols that have the most significant impact on PCOS are myo-inositol and D-chiro- inositol. Under healthy circumstances, myo-inositol is converted to D-chiro-inositol in the body to assist with glucose metabolism. However, the mechanism of action behind this conversion is hindered under conditions of insulin resistance, a common root cause of PCOS. Insulin resistance occurs when cells in the body become unresponsive to insulin and as a result, cannot use glucose from the bloodstream for energy production. This causes the pancreas to pump out more insulin, which causes blood sugar levels to rise over time. High levels of insulin in the body have been linked to androgen production, which can eventually lead to PCOS.
