4. Innovative ovarian health supplement Using an inspired blend of ingredients, including a naturally-
occurring sugar that’s part of the vitamin B family, Ovaria is a new ovarian-health nutritional supplement formulated with proven ingredients to address PCOS, without any of the side effects. The ingredients in Ovaria bind to cell receptors, activating the signalling pathways that regulate thyroid hormones and, most importantly, insulin in the body. This means Ovaria helps normalise blood insulin levels, which normalises androgen and improves the symptoms of PCOS. Ovaria is a nutritional supplement sold in a powder form, in two flavours – orange or peach. It contains 4 000mg of Myo-Inositol, the required daily dose clinically proven to be effective in the treatment of PCOS symptoms. Ovaria is available from reputable pharmacies – or simply order it online via Lamelle’s health store – lamelle.co.za/health-store.
