Pharmacological properties of the drug

The drug contains only two B vitamins. Both of them take an active part in many biochemical processes in the female body. Inositol regulates hormonal imbalances:

reduces the level of luteinizing hormone, testosterone and prolactin in plasma;

restores the regularity of menstruation and ovulation;

normalizes ovarian function;

is the main vitamin factor for good hair growth and the prevention of baldness.

Folates act as a means for the prevention of congenital malformations of the fetus. Folic acid takes part in the metabolism of protein, amino acids, and nucleic acid, which are responsible for the production of DNA and RNA, and chromosome repair. Vitamin B9 is very important for normal tissue growth and is often used when planning pregnancy.

Indications for use

Inofert is prescribed for the treatment of infertility, to improve the quality of eggs before artificial insemination or to stimulate ovulation. It is necessary to use a dietary supplement in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations and only after passing tests. The main indications for taking dietary supplements will be the following conditions:

• polycystic ovary syndrome with characteristic symptoms and established fact of infertility;
• metabolic syndrome, which contributes to the development of diabetes mellitus, which causes a decrease in the reproductive capacity of the body;
• ovulation disorder, irregular menstrual cycle;
• increase in androgen hormones in a woman’s body;

Inofert when planning pregnancy

It is advisable to use dietary supplements when planning pregnancy if conception does not occur due to the following factors:

• the presence of damage to internal organs that the woman has received throughout her life;
• changes in the quality of eggs associated with age-related changes in the body;
• change in the number of chromosomes in cells;
• differences between haploid sets of chromosomes during fetal formation.

Inofert for men

According to statistics, even in an absolutely healthy man, some sperm may contain an insufficient or excessive number of chromosomes. In medicine, this phenomenon is considered a disease and is called aneuploidy. This pathology leads to difficulties with conception and can cause the development of gene diseases in the child. In order to prevent such factors, to accelerate sperm maturation and improve sperm quality, men are recommended to drink Inoferta powder.

Inofert before eco

The method of artificial insemination is actively used for infertility. If a woman, for some reason, cannot conceive a child on her own, she can resort to the IVF procedure to achieve pregnancy. The use of Inofert during in vitro fertilization provides:

• maturation of high-quality eggs, which are taken by a doctor for artificial insemination;
• maintaining sperm activity during the conception procedure;
• reducing the risk of defective chromosomes or low-quality eggs in vitro;
• reducing the amount of recommended hormonal medications.

Mechanism of action

The composition of the bioactive supplement is not rich. It contains only two vitamins belonging to group B. Their task is to participate in almost all biochemical reactions occurring in the female body. The action of inositol is aimed at normalizing hormonal levels. This substance:

• lowers prolactin and testosterone levels;
• restores the menstrual cycle;

• regulates ovulation processes;
• improves ovarian function;
• accelerates hair growth;
• is a preventative against baldness.

Inositol in the human body is present in phospholipids. Its role is to control the metabolism of glucose and fats, restore cells of the nervous system. For glucose tolerance or type II diabetes, the drug improves the overall picture of metabolic processes. In polycystic ovary syndrome, inositol normalizes mechanisms that are associated with metabolic disorders and the functioning of the reproductive system.

Folic acid is involved in the metabolism of proteins, nucleic acids, and amino acids.

These substances are responsible for normal DNA synthesis and chromosome regeneration. Thanks to a course of treatment, vitamin B9 prevents the development of defects in an unborn child. This substance is often prescribed during pregnancy planning, as it is involved in tissue growth and regeneration.

Directions for use and dosage

Inofert is prescribed for oral use. A portion of the powder must be diluted in one glass of clean water and drunk. The optimal time to use a vitamin preparation is before meals or during meals. The average duration of treatment to normalize the menstrual cycle is 1 month. When treating infertility or to normalize ovulation, the drug is prescribed for a course of 3 months or six months. The dosage is also increased: 2 sachets of powder in the morning and evening.

The day of the menstrual cycle, the onset of ovulation or other indicators are not of fundamental importance for the effectiveness of treatment.
