OVUNOL Fertility - 30 Sachets

• Myo-inositol: naturally produced by the human body, and naturally present in the diet, myo-inositol is found in many cells of the human body, notably in the ovaries. Myo-inositol mediates insulin action and is involved in processes including glucose metabolism and the regulation of cell proliferation (notably reproductive cells).
• Folates (vitamin B9): folic acid contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine. Folic acid supplementation increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status increases the risk of neural tube defects in the developing fetus. The beneficial effect is achieved in women of childbearing age by consuming 400 μg of folic acid per day, at least one month before conception and up to three months after conception. The folic acid contained in OVUNOL® is in the form of Quatrefolic® (5-methyltetrahydrofolate), an active form of folate.
• Vitamin D: only partially supplied by the diet (cod liver oil, eggs, butter, oily fish). It is mainly synthesized in the skin under the influence of sunlight, so intakes are linked to sunshine. Vitamin D contributes to normal immune function, normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, and cell division processes.

In France, 48% of women of childbearing age have insufficient vitamin D status. 1

• Iodine: found in particular in seafood and dairy products. Iodine contributes to normal thyroid hormone production and thyroid function.

In France, iodine status is insufficient. 43% of women of childbearing age have an inadequate iodine intake (INCA study). 2

• Selenium: found mainly in fish, meat and mushrooms. Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function. Selenium protects cells against oxidative stress.

Zinc: found mainly in organ meats and seafood. Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, and protects cells against oxidative stress. Zinc plays a role in cell division, DNA synthesis and protein synthesis.
