Sponsored: A natural relief for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) sufferers

Did you know that 8 – 13% of women suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?

At best this complex hormonal condition is inconvenient; at worst it can cause infertility and even illness.

For those seeking a natural remedy, one innovative pharmaceutical company may just have the answer.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is a hormonal disorder that involves reproductive and metabolic problems.

Affecting 8 – 13% of women in reproductive age, because of ovarian dysfunction, it is the most common cause of infertility.

Symptoms and complications

Symptoms include irregular or prolonged menstrual cycles, elevated levels of the male hormone androgen which results in excess body hair and acne, and polycystic ovaries where the ovaries are not able to function properly.

While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, possible complications are many. 

PCOS can lead to, among other things, infertility, type 2 diabetes, depression and anxiety. Given the high rate of obesity in women with PCOS, efforts to achieve weight reduction are an important part of the treatment of the disorder. For others, medical interventions are necessary especially under the threat of infertility or illnesses.

A more natural solution

3Sixty Biomedicine CEO, Walter Mbatha says, “The most common medical intervention is correcting the hormonal imbalance by prescribing a contraceptive pill. These days though, many women are steering clear of taking additional hormones and tend to favour more natural options.”

Launched in March at the Fertility Show Africa in Gallagher Convention Centre, Salome Fertility is currently available in a tablet pack from pharmacies nationwide, Takealot.com and 3Sixty Biomedicine’s website.

Mbatha adds, “Women suffering from PCOS will be amazed at the improvement in their symptoms and the fact that this treatment is natural makes Salome Fertility the perfect choice for many women suffering from this syndrome.”

The dynamic South Africa-based pharmaceutical company has been hard at work developing this natural product range to assist with the management of many female health issues such as PCOS.

Effective improvement 

“Salome Fertility contains caronositol which is a natural D-chiro-inositol from carob extract and has proven to be very effective for the improvement of the functional deficiencies observed in the condition. This includes the reduction in hyperandrogenism, ovulation regulation and reduction of oxidative stress in follicular liquid,” says Mbatha.

At the Fertility Africa Show earlier in 2020 when Salome Fertility was launched, 3Sixty Biomedicine partnered with renowned medical doctor and radio personality, Dr Sindi van Zyl who was on-site to share with consumers her journey with PCOS and infertility.

Besides, two talks were sponsored at the Fertility Show Africa by 3Sixty Biomedicine that addressed PCOS and how a healthy lifestyle, diet and targeted supplements can optimise fertility which was delivered by Hormonal Harmony; as well as a discussion on Myths and facts about PCOS prepared by PTA Fertility Centre.
