PCOS-related Hair Loss May Be Reduced with Carnitine

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 18:17:48 GMT

Carnitine is a "vitamin-like" molecule best known for helping your muscle cells to burn fat and thus provide energy and aid fat weight loss. But carnitine has other benefits you may not be aware of. Take hair loss for example, which is a serious problem for many women with PCOS. The authors of a very recent study have concluded: "Our findings suggest that L-carnitine stimulates human scalp hair growth." They also encourage one to "explore topical and nutraceutical administration of l-carnitine as a well-tolerated, relatively safe adjuvant treatment in the management of androgenetic alopecia and other forms of hair loss." Another important issue is heart disease. It's known that women with PCOS are more likely to have "endothelial dysfunction" in the walls of the arteries, which indicates the person is on the path toward atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Authors of another recent study concluded: "Our data suggest that increasing L-carnitine levels may improve obesity-associated endothelial dysfunction. This improved endothelial function may delay or prevent the development of excess cardiovascular disease." Based on these and other studies, it appears that a carnitine nutritional supplement should be considered for inclusion as part of your overall health rebuilding program if you have polycystic ovary syndrome or metabolic syndrome. Of course, it's always wise to start with the "basics" of improved diet, increased exercise and better management of chronic stress. Mastering the basics will increase the effectiveness of any supplements that you take.

Which Works Best for PCOS -- Metformin or Diet?

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 00:10:55 GMT

According new research, either a better diet or metformin are equally effective, if you have PCOS and are overweight. In this study, one group of 24 women were put on a calorie-restricted diet (25 protein, 25 fat, 50 carbs). Another group of 22 were given 850 mg of metforming (Glucophage) twice a day for six months. After six months, both groups had equal improvement in menstrual cycles, weight reduction and testosterone levels. A big difference between a healthier diet and metformin is that metformin has some undesirable side effects whereas as a healthier diet has no side effects whatever. The Natural Diet Solution for PCOS and Infertility book provides dietary guidance that could work just as well as metformin. If you're relying on metformin alone, now is the time to think about also improving your diet.
