ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a nutritional supplement might help women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), especially those who also have insulin resistance. PCOS is a condition that can cause symptoms like weight gain, acne, excess hair growth, and fertility issues, which can affect a woman’s quality of life. The researchers hope to see if a specific combination of supplements can improve these symptoms by enhancing insulin sensitivity, which is how well the body uses insulin to manage blood sugar levels, and by reducing inflammation and stress in the body.

To participate in this study, women aged 18 to 45 who have been diagnosed with PCOS according to specific criteria can sign up. However, those who have been treated with certain medications or have other serious health conditions, like diabetes or heart disease, cannot join. Participants can expect to take the supplement and undergo various tests to measure improvements in their overall health, including their hormonal and metabolic profiles. The goal is to see if these changes can lead to a better quality of life and boost self-esteem for those living with PCOS.
