Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements P olycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone imbalance--including excess male hormone levels--that changes menstruation, can impair fertility, and raises chances for metabolic syndrome and other physical and psychological conditions. Vitamin D. In one study, 40 women with PCOS took a placebo or 3,200 IU of vitamin D per day. After three months, vitamin D levels had more than tripled in the vitamin D group, and increased 1.5 times for placebo. Signs of systemic inflammation had decreased for vitamin D while remaining unchanged in the placebo group. Doctors were interested in liver function, which can deteriorate in PCOS. When the liver is damaged, it releases excess amounts of a protein-metabolizing enzyme, alanine transaminase, or ALT, into the bloodstream. ALT levels declined for the vitamin D group and increased for placebo. In women who were both overweight and deficient in vitamin D, those taking vitamin D showed fewer signs of liver scarring, and had improvements in liver function. (Reference: Nutrients; 2019, Vol. 11, No. 1, 188) Vitamin D and omega-3. In this second study, 60 women with PCOS, aged 18 to 40, took a placebo or 50,000 IU of vitamin D every two weeks plus 2,000 mg of omega-3 fish oil daily. After 12 weeks, compared to placebo, women taking vitamin D with omega-3 had much lower testosterone levels, and saw significant decreases in high-sensitivity C- reactive protein, and malondialdehyde-both markers for systemic inflammation. Total antioxidant capacity also improved significantly for the vitamin D-omega-3 group vs. placebo. And, women taking D and omega-3 showed three times the improvement in depression scores compared to placebo. (Reference: Journal of Affective sDisorders; 2018, Vol. 238, 32-8) There are many reasons, of course, for taking vitamin D and omega-3 supplements. For women with PCOS, it can be especially important.
