A frequent reason for PCOS is a disturbance of insulin metabolism, which is referred to as insulin resistance. In this condition, the insulin (which is secreted by the pancreas) cannot excert its normal effects at the receptors of sugar-metabolizing tissue-cells. Trying to compensate for this, the pancreas secrets more and more insulin, ultimately leading to hyperinsulinemia. Due to the similarity of insulin to IGF (insulin-like growth factor), which is an important regulator of the ovary, this results in irregularities of ovarian function. Therefore PCOS-patients are recommended to take up micronutrients that contribute to normalisation of blood sugar levels and support insulin action. Well characterized are the inositols, that play an important role in insulin signal transduction. Fertilovit F PCOS has been tailored to meet the needs of women with PCOS planning for pregnancy.
