Did you know that PCOS affects as many as 5 million women in the reproductive age in the US? PCOS, which stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a common condition which affects how a woman’s ovaries work. And since September marks PCOS awareness month, here are 3 ways exante can help with PCOS:
But wait, what even causes PCOS?
PCOS is normally caused by underdeveloped follicle sacs where eggs grow in the ovaries. And although they are completely harmless, they often cause uncomfortable symptoms that are difficult to treat. Some of these include:
- Missed or irregular periods
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Excessive hair growth around areas such as the face, back and neck (also called Hirsutism)
- Oily skin and thinning hair
- Weight gain and difficulty losing weight
Although the symptoms vary amongst women, here are 3 ways exante can help you manage PCOS symptoms:
Helps you reach your nutrient targets:
Research has shown that vitamin deficiency, including vitamin D and vitamin A may lead to an increase in PCOS symptoms and complication. exante meal replacement shakes contain 26 vitamins and minerals, which are often lacking in regular diets, each serving contains 25% of your daily nutrient requirements (RDIs). This ensures you are getting all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients you need which may help reduce symptoms and help you reach a balanced diet.
Our BOOST multivitamin drinks are also a tasty and refreshing way to get your vitamin and mineral intake. With a unique ingredient blend our BOOST drinks help burn fat, increase metabolism and fortify your immune system*.
Helps with weight loss:
Weight loss is the most effective way to help manage PCOS symptoms and reduce complications. However, as PCOS may cause insulin resistance and higher levels of stress hormones, weight loss with PCOS becomes very difficult.
Our meal replacement shakes are a great way to achieve your health goals and weight loss targets as they are simple, convenient and (most importantly) calorie controlled! With 3+ hours of hunger blocking power, our shakes are a perfect meal replacement as they are high in protein and fiber.
