A deeper look at the active ingredients in Ovarian Care

Inositol (as myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol)

Insulin is an essential hormone that helps every cell of the body utilize glucose and regulate energy production. Age, genetic factors, lifestyle factors, and physical conditions can cause the body to have a reduced response to insulin, often referred to as insulin resistance. When the body becomes insulin resistant, a cascade of imbalances can follow, including impaired metabolic function, hormone imbalance, and menstrual irregularity. The naturally occurring ratio of 40:1 myo-inositol to D-chiro-inositol in Ovarian Care has been shown in multiple clinical studies to provide numerous health benefits.* By enhancing insulin sensitivity, inositol:

• Promotes healthy blood sugar and lipid levels*
• Supports balanced hormone levels to promote ovulation and menstrual regularity*
• Benefits clear skin and healthy hair growth where you want it, not where you don’t, by promoting balanced levels of androgen hormones*
• Offers nutritional support for a woman experiencing the effects of hormone imbalance and PCOS*
• Provides support for a balanced mood*

Coenzyme Q10 Phytosome

CoQ10 provides nutrient support for the mitochondria in every cell in the body – the organelles that are essential to cellular energy production and function.* Ovarian Care provides CoQ10 as a phytosome for enhanced absorption in a powder delivery format. By enhancing mitochondrial function, Coenzyme Q10 Phytosome:

• Benefits cellular energy production*
• Provides support against oxidative stress in every cell*
• Helps protect ovarian reserve*
• Promotes healthy oocytes and helps protect against age-related decline in egg quality*
• Helps maintain reproductive health and natural fertility*
• Supports assisted reproduction efforts by enhancing ovarian response and embryo quality*

Folate (as 5-MTHF)

Healthy cellular division, red blood cell formation, and neurological function are dependent on folate. Folate is crucial prior to and in early pregnancy to promote healthy fetal development. Intestinal and liver dysfunction and genetic makeup can make it difficult to obtain a healthy level of folate. The folate in Ovarian Care is provided as methylfolate (or 5-MTHF) for enhanced utilization in the body, including individuals who have challenged folate metabolism.* Benefits of Folate:

• Supports fertility for women with a genetic polymorphism like MTHFR*
• Enhances the fertility benefits of inositol*
• Promotes the response to assisted fertility efforts*
• Benefits healthy fetal neurological development and healthy birthweight*

Polyphenols (from wild blueberry, pomegranate, and green tea extracts)

Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in many fruits and vegetables. Polyphenols promote a healthy inflammatory response and function as potent antioxidants that resist physical stressors to cells.* By promoting antioxidant capacity and a healthy insulin response, the wild blueberry, pomegranate, and green tea polyphenols in Ovarian Care provide an ideal complement to  the formula.*

INTERACTIONS
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
