FertiZest (500 mg)
Generic: D-Chiro-Inositol (Carob / Ceratonia siliqua extract) 500 mg + D-Chiro-Inositol (Carob / Ceratonia siliqua extract)
D-chiro-inositol is extracted by a patented process from Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) pod found in Southern Europe. Deficiency of D-chiro-inositol in peripheral tissue causes insulin resistance that leads to hyperandrogenism in ovaries which results in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). D-chiro-inositol helps regulate androgen/estrogen balance by decreasing LH and serum testosterone levels. It improves glucose tolerance, reduces circulating insulin, reduces oxidative stress on follicles, and decreases total cholesterol/triglycerides. Clinically proven to treat ovarian cysts, regulate ovulation, reduce hirsutism, alopecia, acanthosis nigricans, and acne, and lower cardiovascular risk in PCOS patients.
