Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder characterized by hormonal imbalance, irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, and obesity. Women with PCOS typically have numerous cysts on the ovaries, hence the name. PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, affecting an estimated 5–10 percent.
In PCOS, the body produces an excess amount of androgens, and the ratio of luteinizing hormone to the follicle-stimulating hormone is abnormally high. Ovulation occurs less frequently, or the ovaries don’t release eggs at all. In the absence of ovulation, the menstrual cycle is irregular or absent, and cysts containing immature eggs form on the ovaries. This causes the ovaries to enlarge.
Insulin resistance is a common feature of both PCOS and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of symptoms (abdominal obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and insulin resistance) that greatly increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University found that metabolic syndrome is twice as prevalent in women with PCOS compared to those without this hormonal disorder.
PCOS increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, increased triglycerides, decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease. Women with PCOS are also at risk of abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial cancer because the uterus is exposed to higher amounts of estrogen.

CoQ10
Why A CoQ10 Supplement?
- CoQ10 levels are known to decrease naturally with aging; either by reduced production efficiency (biosynthesis) within the body and/or by increased metabolic requirements. This often results in more than a 50% drop by age 50.
- Diet and lifestyle patterns are known to deplete CoQ10 unnaturally.
- The use of some prescription drugs, in particular, cholesterol-lowering “statins” and other over-the-counter medications can deplete CoQ10 in the body.
- Low CoQ10 levels have been directly associated with a higher risk of many well-known diseases of lifestyle and
- Low levels of CoQ10 have been associated with the negative impact of three of the primary biologic markers of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS); obesity, oxidative stress, and inflammation.
