Are there studies on the efficacy of PROFERTIL inositol?
The supportive effect of the ingredients of PROFERTIL inositol for hormonal balance for women trying to conceive and/or with PCOS has been proven in several studies.
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy. The intake of folic acid is recommended already in the pre-conceptional phase (before conception) to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
PROFERTIL inositol may therefore increase the probability of a successful conception.

Should I continue to take PROFERTIL inositol if I am already pregnant?
PROFERTIL inositol supports fertility in women with PCO syndrome and the desire to have children, but is not a pregnancy supplement. It should therefore only be taken until pregnancy has been confirmed. During pregnancy, a woman’s nutritional needs change and for this reason other supplements should be used later.
However, this also means that you can still use the remaining pack as soon as the pregnancy is known (or suspected).
How long should PROFERTIL inositol be taken?
Generally, PROFERTIL inositol can and should be taken until the pregnancy is confirmed if the woman wishes to have a child.
In case of PCOS (without the desire for children), the intake over a longer period may be recommended by the doctor.
In general, PROFERTIL inositol should always be taken under medical supervision.
