Description: A powdered blend of evidence-based nutrients for optimal hormonal regulation, oocyte development and fertility support in women. Peach mango flavour for improved compliance. Infertility is a rising health concern for Canadians, with as many as 1 in 6 couples currently experiencing difficulties with conception. Of course, infertility may arise as a result of male or female health issues, or some combination of concerns with both partners. While there may be multiple underlying causes or complicating factors, in women the cause is often related to egg production, egg quality, menstrual irregularities or hormonal imbalances. Cycle Matrix - Ovulatory and Oocyte Support by Cyto-Matrix combines a selection of natural health ingredients to target and improve these parameters in females experiencing infertility. One clinical picture that often leads to infertility in women is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Physiologically, women with PCOS present with insulin resistance and subsequent elevations in androgens and suboptimal progesterone during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. This often results in irregular menses, lack of egg maturation, anovulation and infertility. Fortunately, dietary modifications, lifestyle changes and a number of nutritional supplements have been demonstrated to improve this dysfunctional pattern. One great example of a well-studied nutrient to benefit PCOS is inositol. Ingredients: Each scoop contains: Myo-inositol (Inositol) 4 g L-Arginine (L-Arginine monohydrochloride) 1 g N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) 600 mg Choline ((VitaCholine™) choline L(+) bitartrate))* 550 mg Coenzyme Q10 (Coenzyme Q10) 300 mg Chastetree (fruit, Vitex agnus-castus) 10:1 extract equivalent to 500mg of dry fruit 50 mg PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt) 20 mg Folate (Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) 1000 mcg Beetroot powder, beta-carotene, citric acid, malic acid, maltodextrin, mango flavour, peach flavour, silicon dioxide, sugars (stevia).
