Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of increasing the proportion of D-chiro-inositol (DCI) in a combination with myo-inositol (MYO) in improving fertility in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Sixty women diagnosed with PCOS will randomly take twice a day for 12 weeks a capsule containing 550 mg of myo-inositol and 150 mg of D-chiro-inositol or capsules containing 550 mg of myo-inositol and 13.8 mg of D-chiro-inositol.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrinopathy in women of childbearing age. It affects 4-8% of the population and of them, approximately 74% present anovulatory cycles and, therefore, fertility problems.

Both myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol are 2 natural substances that have been shown to improve ovarian function and metabolism in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of 2 ratios of myo-inositol /D-chiro-inositol on parameters related to the fertility of women with PCOS.

It is a multicenter, controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 12-week clinical trial which will be conducted in 13 public and private hospitals from Spain.
