MyOva extends fertility support supplements beyond PCOS

MyOva extends fertility support supplements beyond PCOS

Launched in 2016 after years of struggling to conceive a baby, UK-based Leila Martyn and James Grant created MyOva to support other women struggling with the many symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

“When we started trying for a baby, it took five years with six miscarriages, all of which were totally unexplained,” Martyn said. “None of the doctors took into consideration that I suffered from PCOS or gave me any treatment around this in relation to my fertility issues. Doctors said ‘it’s just bad luck, keep trying’. 

“I thought if we carry on doing the same thing we’re going to keep getting the same result, so I started to do my own research into PCOS symptoms and learned one was poor egg quality. I then discovered myo-inositol, which is basically a natural alternative to the drug Metformin which doctors often prescribe to PCOS patients.”

PCOS is an endocrine disorder characterised by ovulatory dysfunction, metabolic changes and hyperandrogenism. It presents in several different ways. Common features include: rregiular periods, infertility, pregnancy complications including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and premature delivery, overweight or obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease (CVD), sleep apnea and depression.

Myo-inositol a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in dietary sources such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and cereals and acts as an intracellular messenger to regulate several hormones​ including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and insulin. It has been found to improve the way the body handles insulin, decreases testosterone levels, promotes weight loss and induces ovulation.
