Suplements for PCOS
The following are highlights of power that help control insulin levels.

Supplements are recommended in women with PCOS are:

1. Magnesium. It has been observed that if you have a low magnesium intake in relation to calcium, then it can aggravate the sugar management and promote the development of cardiovascular disease. Be recommended to supplement with 500 mg of magnesium daily.

2. Chromium Picolinate. Chromium picolinate improves insulin sensitivity, improving the management of carbohydrates and blood sugar levels. It also helps to promote satiety and control the “need” for carbohydrates that many women experience. UCG is recommended to consume 200 once a day.

3. Omega – 3 These help reduce the risk of heart disease than do women with polycystic ovary syndrome. We recommend 1 gram of omega – 3 a day capsules on the market contain 1 gram of total oils, but only 300 mg of omega – 3, so you should eat at least 3 capsules a day to achieve to get 1 gram of omega – 3 per day.

4. Linseed. Flaxseed is also a source of omega – 3. Helps reduce levels of bad cholesterol (LDL), helps to improve digestion. Eat the seeds are crushed, 2-5 tablespoons a day.

Diet and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disorder that affects an estimated 6-10% of the world’s women. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, you may have found the situation frustrating.

Polycystic Ovary

Until recently very little was known, so many women do not find answers to some symptoms they experience. Among the most common are those associated with metabolic disorders such as sudden weight gain (especially in the upper body), excessive body hair (face, arms, legs, etc.), Acne, depression and changes in the state of mind, baldness, infertility, among others.

Those who suffer can recognize that there is definitely something wrong with your metabolism, but unfortunately it is rarely identified. The good news is that while not yet fully understand the origin of PCOS, it is understood that endocrine disorder, and that many women there is an increase in insulin, leading to metabolic disorders that manifest as weight gain and adiposity. Therefore, nutritional therapy can be key in solving many symptoms.

For example, we have found that excess weight, usually related to more severe symptoms and that even modest weight reduction can lead to significant improvements in the regularity of menstruation, fertility and hyperandrogenic features (hirsutism, acne, baldness) .
