PCOS affects between 5 and 10% of women of childbearing age and is known to be one of the leading causes of female infertility.

PCOS is defined by a hormonal disorder in women that is characterized by hyperandrogenism, or excess of male hormones, and the possible absence of ovulation and menstrual irregularities. These are usually caused by the presence of follicular cysts in the ovary, which did not develop naturally and therefore did not rupture and ovulate.

Cysts found in the context of PCOS do not represent a health problem and do not need to be surgically removed. The most characteristic symptoms are irregular menstrual cycles, excess body hair, hair loss usually in the temporal zone, acne, obesity, hypertension and glucose metabolism alteration. It is also the most common cause of infertility and can be associated with an increased cardiovascular risk in the case of obesity, high blood pressure and altered glucose metabolism.

At least 20-25% of cases of female infertility are caused by ovulation irregularities having, as a symptom, irregular or even absent menstruations.

Absence of ovulation may be associated with excessive weight or excessive weight loss.

There are numerous causes for ovulation irregularities, including reduced secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland (a gland at the base of the brain), existence of polycystic ovaries, among other factors.

Usually the treatment is very effective, with 70% of couples achieving the desired pregnancy. There are special cases in which surgical action on the ovaries may be appropriate, or resort to Medically Assisted Procreation (PMA) or In vitro Fertilization (IVF).

PCOS is a variable condition that affects women in different ways. Some women have only a few mild symptoms, while others may have more severe symptoms. The presence of polycystic ovaries is one of the diagnostic criteria, but their presence is not essential.

If you experience the typical symptoms of PCOS, you should consult your doctor for a correct assessment
.

If PCOS is diagnosed, your doctor will discuss with you how best to manage your symptoms. In most cases, this management undergoes changes in the lifestyle itself, and will eventually be prescribed medication and use of oral hypoglycemic agents or other drugs that are indicated for the metabolic clinical picture in question.

The exact cause is still unknown, but it is believed to be related to abnormal hormonal changes and is often associated with insulin resistance.

The physiopathogeny or its cause is not yet well understood with genetic and hormonal factors involved that can be aggravated by lifestyle. It is known that there is a disorder in the ovaries, adrenal glands, skin and adipose tissue, and hypothalamus-pituitary axis.

Insulin resistance

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows you to control the amount of sugar present in the blood (glucose). It works particularly on the cells of the liver and muscles, leading to the absorption of glucose from the blood, which in turn will be converted into energy.

Insulin is a hormone with various functions in our body, especially in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Insulin resistance plays an important role in 50-70% of women with PCOS, regardless of their weight. Insulin resistance reduces the ability of cells to normally process glucose, resulting in accumulation in the blood (hyperglycemia). The body compensates by secretion of more insulin, resulting in too high levels of this hormone (hyperinsulinemia).

Insulin performs its function by binding to a specific receiver (a protein located on the cell membrane). In this way, insulin indirectly regulates intracellular metabolism to produce the desired effects, without the need to enter the cell. Binding triggers several biological processes, in which a key component is the main active ingredient of InoCare.

Insulin has another effect, causes the ovaries to produce testosterone. In women with PCOS, excess insulin translates into too much testosterone production. High testosterone levels can give rise to the appearance of some of the symptoms already described, namely hirsutism, excessive oiliness of the skin and hair and even hair loss.

High levels of insulin and testosterone can also prevent the normal development of follicles in the ovaries, with many follicles not fully developing. As a consequence many women have problems with menstruation and reduced fertility.

Insulin resistance can also lead to a weight gain. Excess adiposity leads the body to produce even more insulin, which naturally aggravates symptoms. This can create a vicious cycle and it is therefore so important to minimize weight gain.

Although the cause of PCOS is not objectively known, hyperinsulinemia is proven to play a key role in the development of the syndrome.

There is no cure for PCOS, but effective management of symptoms can be achieved through lifestyle changes, medication and inocare supplementation.

One of the simplest measures is to control your weight. We are aware that this can be very demanding and difficult, but it can make a big difference in your well-being.

Some medications can lower insulin levels, treat acne, favor hair growth and regulate your menstruation. If you wish to become pregnant, you may need to have fertility treatment.

For women with PCOS who have insulin resistance, it has been proven that the treatment provides significant improvements in hormone regulation, reduction of acne and excessive hair growth, restore and regularize menstruation and reduce blood pressure
.

In pregnant women with PCOS, it reduces weight gain, normalizes gestation time and reduces the incidence of diabetes.

The evidence shows that not only does it provide pregnant women with clear benefits, but there are no side effects observed at the recommended dose.

When taken at the recommended daily dose, InoCare provides a set of high-tech assets such as Folic Acid (Quatrefolic), Myo-Inositol, D-Chiro-Inositol, among others.

The most recent information has shown that supplementation increases insulin sensitivity. Helps in weight loss in conjunction with a balanced diet. It also allows to regulate ovulation in most women with anovulation due to PCOS.

It should be used as an adjunct in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocols.

Taken during medically assisted procreation treatments, it has been shown to improve the quality of oocytes and embryonics and reduce the risk of hyperstimulation.

It can be taken safely during pregnancy as it reduces the incidence of gestational diabetes and preterm delivery.

Contains Zinc that contributes to normal fertility and reproduction.

Developed with Quatrefolic, the biologically active folate of last generation, fundamental in the process of cell division, growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy and prevention of development of birth defects.

It is of vegetable origin (gluten-free or lactose)and is generally very well tolerated.
