About PCOS

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine diseases
that affects 5 to 10% of women of adolescent and reproductive age. It is clear that
nutrition-associated signalling pathways play a central role in the regulation of ovarian follicle growth and ovulation rates.

In particular, deficiencies of Myo-inositol and Vitamin D can lead to PCOS
pathogenesis-related complications. Therefore, nutritional supplementation may contribute to overcome complications of PCOS such as immature oocyte, insulin
resistance, hyperandrogenism and oxidative stress.
