Understanding PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common disorder in women and a major cause of anovulatory infertility. PCOS is a complex heterogeneous disorder that has several aspects in terms of pathology such as metabolic, endocrine, reproductive, and psychological. It is the most common endocrine disease that affect 5 to 10% of women of adolescent and reproductive age.
It is defined and diagnosed by a combination of signs and symptoms of androgen excess, ovarian dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound. There is increasing evidence to suggest that PCOS affects the whole life of women. The causes of PCOS are not fully understood. Several factors such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, underlying neuroendocrine disorders contributes to multiple pathological mechanisms that lead to hormonal imbalance resulting in PCOS.
PCOS happens when there is an increase in levels of androgen, insulin and an increased levels of Luteinizing hormone (LH) and decreased levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This varying imbalance in the hormones causes the ovaries to produce more testosterone leading to hirsutism, acne, multiple ovarian follicles (cysts), and menstural irregularities because eggs don’t ovulate or ovulate only occasionally.
Key characteristics of PCOS are:
1. Excess production of androgen male hormones. (increase in male type hormones - hyperandrogenism)
2. Increase in insulin resistance. (increased insulin levels - hyperinsulinemia)
3. Increase in Lutenizing hormone (LH) & Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) ratio.
Signs or symptoms of PCOS:
Menstural cycle and PCOS:
The menstrual cycle is 24 to 35 days cycle and it refers to the maturing and release of an egg from an ovary and the preparation of the uterus to receive and nurture an embryo. The menstrual cycle is governed by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, which rise and fall in a monthly pattern. When the cycle is running smoothly, the pituitary gland in the base of the brain produces a hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to prepare an egg for release. The menstrual cycle starts two weeks before your period when the egg is ready and this is when the brain sends signals to release LH and FSH hormones to the ovaries. A large surge of LH stimulates follicles in the ovaries to release an egg (ovulation). While this is happening, the ovaries are secreting other hormones such as estrogen and progesterone to thicken the lining (endometrium) of the uterus and prepare it for pregnancy. The ovaries also produce small amounts of androgens (male hormones), such as testosterone, which is converted into estrogen. If the egg meets the sperm in the fallopian tube, fertilization, and conception may occur. If fertilization does not occur, the endometrium lining sheds and results in menstrual bleeding.
With PCOS, LH levels are often high when the menstrual cycle starts and the levels of LH are also higher than FSH. Because the LH levels are already quite high, there is no LH surge, Without this surge, ovulation does not occur and periods are irregular Women with PCOS may ovulate occasionally or not at all, so periods may be too close together, or more commonly, too far apart. Some women may not get a period at all.
PCOS and Fertility:
Women with PCOS have normal uterus and contain follicles with eggs in them, but the follicles do not develop and mature properly - so there is no ovulation or release of eggs. This is called anovulation. If ovulation do not occur, getting pregnant become impossible. Hypersecretion of LH and high increase in ovarian androgen production also manifest into infertility.
Women with PCOS have a greater risk of anovulation and infertility. Many women do not find out they have PCOS until they try to conceive, particularly if they were using contraception that uses hormones, which masks irregular or no periods, because it allows for a monthly bleed.
PCOS is not a disease!
PCOS is not a disease that can be cured, it is a syndrome that required supplemental, dietary and lifestyle modification and support.
Unived’s PCOS Fertility is formulated in a ratio that is clinically studied and has shown to deliver a higher chance of conception while also addressing and helping to manage the all other symptoms of PCOS.

Unived’s PCOS Fertility delivers a 3.6:1 ratio of Myo-Inositol (1100mg): D-Chiro-Inositol (Caronositol®- 300mg) along with L-5-MTHF (400 mcg).
We created PCOS Fertility using the two inositols in this ratio because 3.6:1 ratio has shown an increase in pregnancy rates and live birth rates.
Although Unived’s PCOS Fertility does not guarantee pregnancy to you because pregnancy could be affected by a number of factors depending on both partners, but it will help reduce the factors related to PCOS that might be hindering conception.
Mode of Action:
To support ovulation and fertility Unived’s PCOS Fertility supplement is formulated with Myo-Inositol and Caroinositol® (DCI) in the ratio of 3.6:1 with higher DCI concentration along with folate as supporting ingredient. Ovulation in presence of higher DCI to maintain the MI/DCI balance creates a more sustainable environment to hold pregnancy. The ratio of MI/DCI in 3.6:1 has shown to increase in pregnancy rates and live birth rates.
As MI and DCI regulate different biological processes, concomitant administration has synergistic action which is more beneficial than MI alone and DCI alone in PCOS.

- Better reduction of insulin resistance, androgens levels .
- Better restoration of spontaneous ovulation and menstrual cycle.
- Increased possibility of pregnancy.
What is the suggested use of Unived’s PCOS Management Plus?
Adults take 2 capsules daily post lunch. It is important to ensure you take a 3-6 month course to see clear results. People who have been recently diagnosed and are not seeing severe symptoms may see results faster than someone who has a long history of dealing with PCOS.
