TLDR The combination therapy improved PCOS symptoms in both obese and non-obese women, with weight loss in the obese group.
The observational study assessed the effects of a combination therapy on 51 women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), distinguishing between obese (35 participants) and non-obese (16 participants) groups. The therapy included inositols, antioxidants, and vitamins, and after 12 weeks of treatment with Trazer F Forte™, both groups exhibited significant improvements in menstrual cyclicity, acne, and hirsutism. Additionally, the obese group showed a significant reduction in body weight and BMI, while these measures did not change in the non-obese group. The study concluded that this combination therapy is a promising approach for managing PCOS symptoms in both obese and non-obese women, although it recommended further research to confirm these results.
