Resveratrol and its effect on hormonal imbalance in women with PCOS
Resveratrol can help reduce the risk of metabolic problems in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and improve the body's ability to use insulin, thereby reducing the risk of developing diabetes, has anti-inflammatory effects, lowers testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
Resveratrol may help to address hormonal imbalances in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). One new study reported that PCOS is a major cause of infertility in women of childbearing potential. The condition that leads to this disease occurs in those who have larger circulating androgens. Androgenic dominance may contribute to women having irregular or absent menstrual disorders, weight gain, hair thinning, and blood sugar imbalances.
Women who have PCOS are also at higher risk of developing other health problems, such as type II diabetes. The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but some individuals may have a genetic predisposition and subsequently develop it.
Resveratrol is one of a group of plant compounds known as polyphenols, which are found naturally in grapes and nuts. Excellent sources of supplemental resveratrol include red grapes in particular. The compound is believed to have anti-inflammatory effects. According to the study, resveratrol significantly reduces testosterone levels in patients with PCOS as well as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), a hormone that can increase testosterone in the body.
RESULTS OF THE STUDY WITH THE EFFECT OF RESVERATROL
Thirty women with PCOS completed a randomized study in which they were given a daily resveratrol or placebo pill for three months of taste. Patients had blood samples taken to determine testosterone and other androgen hormone levels. Women also underwent an oral glucose tolerance test to measure the risk of diabetes. The researchers found that total testosterone levels decreased by 23 percent among women who received resveratrol supplementation, and DHEAS decreased by 22 percent, while placebo testosterone levels increased by 3 percent and DHEAS increased by 10 percent. Patients taking the resveratrol supplement also reduced their risk of developing diabetes because their insulin levels dropped by 32 percent, improving their insulin tolerance.
