Sinopol is a dietary supplement based on myoinositol, alpha-lipoic acid and folic acid that helps maintain physiological well-being in women of childbearing age. Sinopol contributes to normalizing women's fertility and/or counteracting the metabolic and hormonal symptoms of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or irregular menstruation.
Myoinositol is a natural compound belonging to the vitamin B complex present in a wide variety of foods such as cereals, nuts, meats, fruits and vegetables. Numerous studies support its beneficial role in female fertility, as it improves menstrual cycles, ovulation rate and oocyte quality.
Excess free radicals and lack of antioxidants can affect female fertility by causing cellular aging. Alpha-lipoic acid is a vitamin-like substance produced by the human body and also found in many foods. It is known for its antioxidant properties that counteract and reduce the effects of free radicals and is involved in important metabolic processes such as energy production in cells.
Folic acid is a B vitamin (vitamin B9) found in liver, nuts and cereals. It contributes to the process of cell division and helps prevent spina bifida and reduces the risk of congenital heart defects in the foetus. Folic acid also supports the normal metabolism of homocysteine (high levels of this amino acid can often be observed in women with infertility).
Myoinositol and alpha-lipoic acid play an important role in other physiological processes such as insulin sensitivity. Since women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are highly resistant to insulin (reduced insulin action in the tissues), it has been shown in recent years that these compounds can have a positive effect on their hormonal and metabolic profile.
