Metformin

A medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This combination may help improve insulin sensitivity, regulate menstrual cycles, and enhance ovulation in women with PCOS.

Insulin Resistance: May assist in improving insulin sensitivity, leading to better blood sugar control.

Metabolic Syndrome: May contribute to managing metabolic syndrome by addressing factors like insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

This drug formulation works by targeting multiple pathways involved in metabolic regulation and hormone balance. Myo-inositol and D-Chiro-inositol enhance insulin sensitivity, while metformin directly lowers blood sugar levels. L-Methyl folate calcium supports proper folate metabolism, crucial for cell function, and methylcobalamin supports healthy nerve function and cell growth.
