Metabolic Syndrome and
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Women with Metabolic Syndrome are more prone to developing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a leading cause of infertility. Polycystic ovaries secrete abnormally high levels of testosterone and other hormones with the onset of PCOS, which is also known as Sclerocystic Ovarian Disease, Stein-Leventhal Syndrome and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). An estimated 5-10% of all women of childbearing age are affected by this disorder. "I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your caring advice and guiding me towards taking control of my health. It's hard to express in words how long I have been trying to find the answers you have so easily provided for me. I am only 27 and was really feeling the effects of my IR and PCOS, with terrible lethargy and fearing that I would never get my active life back. I was taking glucophage which did nothing for me but cause stomach and bowel problems. After 2 1/2 weeks on Insulite PCOS, I feel an amazing difference in energy and even a little in my weight. I am so excited about the positive changes in my health and I can't wait to see where I am six months from now, yet alone the year. Thank you again!" -  MS   Stuarts Draft, VA A root cause of PCOS is Insulin Resistance. This can cause a variety of symptoms, ranging from infertility and excessive facial and body hair growth to acne, menstrual irregularities and male pattern baldness. The bad news doesn’t end there, either. PCOS sufferers with Metabolic Syndrome are also at greater risk of developing Gestational Diabetes and have higher rates of liver, breast and colon cancer. Only in recent years has Metabolic Syndrome undergone extensive scientific investigation. The medical community has made a dramatic change in the way it views and treats this condition after a growing body of evidence pointed to Insulin Resistance as an underlying cause of Metabolic Syndrome. Insulin Resistance is caused by unbalanced glucose and insulin levels resulting from too few insulin receptor sites on the cell’s surface. This vastly reduced number of sites prevents the efficient conversion of food into glucose or sugar for energy in the cell by impeding entry through the cell wall. Instead, free-floating glucose remains in the blood stream where it causes elevated blood sugar levels. The sugar is sent to the liver where it is converted into fat and then stored throughout the body. The end result can be weight gain and obesity. In addition, the imbalance in glucose and insulin levels has been proven to cause changes in the kidneys' ability to remove salt as well as inflict damage on the cardiovascular system, specifically to the lining of the arteries and an increased risk of blood clot formation - all are key factors in developing Cardiovascular Disease, heart attacks and stroke. Excess glucose also lays the foundation for Type 2 Diabetes by raising blood sugar to dangerous levels. It also sometimes prompts abnormal cell growth, implicating it as the cause of certain cancers as well as Metabolic Syndrome and PCOS. At the present time, there is no single pill that will cure Metabolic Syndrome, just as there are no pharmaceutical drugs that will heal PCOS. But there are ways to address Insulin Resistance, an underlying cause of these conditions and PCOS symptoms. If you wish to return to optimum health, you should consider a system that combines nutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease specific), a realistic exercise program, nutritional guidance and a support system that will help you change unhealthy lifestyle choices.

The system features numerous formulations such as InsulX, which includes ingredients like appetite-reducing vanadium. By decreasing testosterone, you're apt to reduce ovarian cysts and help re-establish the delicate balance of your hormones, thereby enhancing the likelihood of ovulation, without which there is no chance of becoming pregnant.
