PROFERTIL® inositol is a food supplement for fertility support in women with PCOS and the desire to have children.
-
PROFERTIL® inositol is suitable in general for all women with PCO syndrome (often associated with insulin resistance) – with or without the desire to have children.
-
1 stick PROFERTIL® inositol contains 2,000 mg myo-inositol, 2 mg vitamin B6 and 200 μg folic acid (of which 50 μg folate/Quatrefolic®).
In addition, PROFERTIL® inositol contains sugar and sweeteners (0.7g carbohydrates/stick, of which 0.6g sugar).

Apply daily the content of 1 to 2 sticks directly into the mouth. Let the powder dissolve slowly before swallowing.
The advantage compared to other inositol products:
PROFERTIL® inositol does not have to be dissolved in water first (easy-to-go) – however, it is possible, should this form of intake be preferred.
It can be taken at any time of the day and independently of meals.
Women with the desire to have children are recommended to take 2 sticks daily to support the sufficient supply of folic acid already in the pre-conceptional phase.
-
PROFERTIL® inositol tastes like wild berries.
-
Women with PCOS who want to have children can take PROFERTIL® inositol in preparation for or during IVF treatment to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
-
The precisely selected formula of PROFERTIL® inositol supports the hormonal balance of women with desire for children and/or PCOS.
-
The supportive effect of the ingredients of PROFERTIL® inositol for hormonal balance for women trying to conceive and/or with PCOS has been proven in several studies.
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy. The intake of folic acid is recommended already in the pre-conceptional phase (before conception) to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
PROFERTIL® inositol may therefore increase the probability of a successful conception.
-
You can monitor your cycle relatively easily, e.g. with the help of a cycle calendar, and assess whether it is regular or not. PROFERTIL® inositol can help women with PCOS and an irregular cycle to have a more regular cycle.

Both sticks can be taken at the same time or at different times of the day.
Women with PCOS and the desire to have children should follow the recommended daily dose of two sticks daily. Taking 400 mcg of folic acid is recommended already in the pre-conceptional phase (before conception) to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
-
PROFERTIL® inositol supports fertility in women with PCO syndrome and the desire to have children, but is not a pregnancy supplement. It should therefore only be taken until pregnancy has been confirmed. During pregnancy, a woman’s nutritional needs change and for this reason other supplements should be used later.
However, this also means that you can still use the remaining pack as soon as the pregnancy is known (or suspected).
-
Generally, PROFERTIL® inositol can and should be taken until the pregnancy is confirmed if the woman wishes to have a child.
In case of PCOS (without the desire for children), the intake over a longer period may be recommended by the doctor.
In general, PROFERTIL® inositol should always be taken under medical supervision.
-
