How it can help
Hormone support & PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women worldwide, manifesting in symptoms like irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and hormonal imbalances.
Managing these symptoms often requires a holistic approach, including balanced nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and if needed targeted supplementation.
Hormone Support is designed to address key aspects of PCOS management by providing essential nutrients and probiotics that support hormonal balance, gut health, and overall well-being.
1. Balancing Hormones
One of the biggest challenges with PCOS is hormone imbalance, particularly with excess androgens (male hormones) and disrupted cycles.
- Magnesium Glycinate helps reduce stress, which can negatively impact hormone levels. High cortisol (the stress hormone) can worsen PCOS symptoms, and magnesium helps calm the nervous system, which may help in balancing hormones naturally.
-Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in regulating mood and hormonal activity, helping to reduce PMS symptoms and improve mood swings, both common in women with PCOS.
2. Supporting Healthy Ovulation
Many women with PCOS struggle with irregular or absent ovulation, making conception difficult.
- Folic Acid supports healthy cell growth and is essential for those trying to conceive, as it promotes normal ovulation. Regular supplementation with folic acid can help prepare the body for pregnancy by supporting reproductive health.
3. Improving Insulin Sensitivity
Insulin resistance is common in women with PCOS, leading to higher blood sugar levels, weight gain, and difficulty losing weight.
- Vitamin D3 and Magnesium Glycinate are both known to improve insulin sensitivity. When your body uses insulin more effectively, it can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and help manage weight—a key concern for many women with PCOS.
4. Reducing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are often underlying issues in PCOS, contributing to symptoms like fatigue and acne.
- Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. By lowering inflammation, you may experience clearer skin, less fatigue, and a more balanced overall system.
5. Supporting Gut Health for Hormonal Balance
Your gut health plays a critical role in how hormones are metabolized, and an imbalanced gut can worsen PCOS symptoms.
- The probiotics in Hormone Support, can help create a healthy gut environment. This can reduce bloating, improve digestion, and support hormone metabolism. A balanced gut microbiome can also positively affect insulin sensitivity and inflammation.
6. Managing Skin and Hair Issues
Many women with PCOS deal with acne and hair thinning due to the hormonal imbalances associated with the condition.
- Zinc has been shown to reduce androgen levels, helping to decrease acne and improve skin health. It also supports the immune system, which is important for reducing inflammation that can trigger breakouts.
