Nutrients are chemical substances required by the body to sustain basic functions and are obtained by eating a balanced diet.
People with PCOS deal with a lot of deficiencies and are more likely to also have obesity, inflammation, insulin resistance or a combination of all these conditions.
Why Zinc?
Zinc is required to make, store and release insulin. This helps in controlling blood sugar levels. It helps in reducing hair loss or unwanted growth, improves skin, supports thyroid hormone and reduce PMS symptoms.
Why Magnesium?
Women with PCOS are known to deal with anxiety and depression. Having low levels of magnesium is the underlying cause of anxiety. Magnesium also improves insulin resistance and helps lower blood pressure.
Why Vitamin D?
