The supplement L-Carnitine, a vitamin-like substance, is discussed in the current edition of PCOS Review.
Editor Bill Slater outlines the many reasons why L-Carnitine supports various important body functions such as burning fat for energy. Additionally, it may “stimulate hair shaft elongation” and reduce the death of hair cells as well as decrease the risk for cardiovascular health issues.
Interestingly, women with PCOS appear to be deficient in carnitine.

L-Carnitine is used in the Insulite PCOS System to increase insulin sensitivity which is key to reversing insulin resistance, considered to be the main underlying cause of PCOS. The formulas of the Insulite PCOS System also include vital nutrients such as saw palmetto, vitex, flax seed, vanadium and chromium among others.

A new study, covered by HealthDay News, suggests that women who become obese by the age of 18 are more likely to develop PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and become infertile than others.
The study surveyed the medical and sexual histories of 1,538 women who were undergoing bariatric surgery at US clinics and found that these obese young women also less likely to become pregnant than those who became obese at an older age.

Modern lifestyles that include poor nutrition, smoking, unmanageble stress and other factors are said to be behind a new figure stating that 25 per cent of married couples in Kolkata, India are now infertile. And, environmental polution is said to influence the sperm quality of many married men, reports an article in The Times of India.
A related article, also in this newspaper, quotes doctors as saying that 60 per cent of their female patients have PCOS.
As Western habits and lifestyles are adopted by burgeoning countries such as India, a more prosperous economy always seems to include the negative sides. Sad.
