Cystofert Tablet 10's

Cystofert Tablet 10's is a nutritional supplement used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary/ovarian syndrome is a hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with numerous small follicles. Symptoms include irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity.

Cystofert Tablet 10's consists of Folic acid, Inositol (D-Chiro Inositol), and Myo-inositol. Folic acid improves fertility and reduces the risk of anovulation (absence of ovulation process). Inositol is a vitamin (vitamin B8) like substance. It decreases blood glucose levels and improves the ovulation process in women with PCOS. Myo-inositol improves insulin sensitivity (body cells utilize insulin effectively to produce glucose), restores the ovulation process and enhances the egg quality.
