Inofert: composition and instructions when planning pregnancy


Composition and release form

Despite the fact that Inofert is often called a drug, it is not a pharmacological agent. This is a dietary supplement produced by the Italian pharmaceutical company Humana. Inofert is produced in the form of a white, fine-crystalline powder intended for dilution in water. It is packaged in individual bags made of soft metallized foil. In turn, they are enclosed in a large branded box along with detailed instructions for use. The active composition of the dietary supplement is represented by the following components:

  • inositol;
  • folic acid.

Relatively recently, a pharmaceutical manufacturing company began producing the drug Inofert Plus in the form of gelatin capsules, capsules containing active substances inside. In addition to inositol and folic acid, the drug contains melatonin, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the central nervous system.

Mechanism of action and composition of Inofert

In fact, Inofert is not considered a drug. This is a dietary supplement, which is an additional source of nutrients necessary for the female body.

Inofert contains the following components:

  • Inositol (vitamin B8). It is necessary for the normal functioning of the nervous system, digestive tract, and reproductive system. The substance regulates the level of hormones in the body, namely testosterone, prolactin, FSH, LH. Thanks to this, it restores the hormonal function of the ovaries, normalizes the menstrual cycle and promotes the onset of ovulation.
  • Folic acid (B9). The substance takes part in the metabolic processes of proteins, DNA and amino acids. This vitamin is often prescribed during pregnancy planning and plays an important role in cell division and tissue growth. It is necessary not only for women, but also for men.

The main purpose of Inofert is to stimulate ovulation and ovarian function, resumption of the menstrual cycle and normal development of the egg. Its action is aimed at the onset of pregnancy.

After a course of taking Inofert, the number of degenerative eggs decreases and the quality of oocytes improves.

Inositol

Inositol is a component of phospholipids that take part in the formation of cell membranes. These compounds are necessary for the rapid recovery of the body after heavy and prolonged physical exertion; they are used to increase the stability of the processes of generating and storing energy. The main sources of inositol for humans are plant products. It is found in abundance in citrus fruits, whole grains, dried fruits (mainly peanuts), wheat sprouts, legumes, and yeast. To replenish inositol reserves and ensure its regular intake into the body, it is better to consume fresh vegetables, fruits, and sprouted seeds. After heat treatment, preservation, freezing, drying, and salting, its quantitative content is significantly reduced.

Inositol has many different functions in the body. In addition to building cell membranes, it stimulates the production of lecithin, a bioactive substance that regulates lipid metabolism, triggering the processes of their breakdown into simple fatty acids. The following biological effects have been found in inositol:

  • control of biotransformation, sugar metabolism, improvement of cellular functions of the nervous system;
  • changes in hormonal parameters - under the influence of inositol, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, prolactin accumulate in the plasma in lower concentrations;
  • decrease in the ratio of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones.

The active component Inoferta restores the regularity of the menstrual cycle, increasing the chances of successful conception. It has a proven modulating effect on ovarian function. So ovarian hyperstimulation is not possible without drugs based on it.

It is due to insufficient intake of inositol into the body or disturbances in its absorption that the condition of the hair worsens. Therefore, it is included in drugs and dietary supplements to combat baldness. It has been established that the active participation of inositol in metabolic processes helps alleviate diabetes mellitus. Under its influence, the overall metabolic picture improves, which has a positive effect on the well-being of patients with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. And with polycystic ovary syndrome, inositol helps to normalize pathophysiological mechanisms based on metabolic and reproductive disorders.

What physiological role do inositol and folic acid play?

INOSITOL Inositol (Myo-Inositol, Vitamin B8) is a vitamin factor of group B. Among vegetables, the largest amounts of inositol contain citrus fruits, whole grains, dried fruits (peanuts), seeds (wheat sprouts), legumes (beans), yeast. Fruits and fresh vegetables contain more inositol than frozen, canned and salted foods.

In the human body, it is present in phospholipids and can stimulate endogenous lecithin production. In addition, its biological role is to specifically control the metabolism of fats and sugars and the cellular functions of the nervous system. Lastly, it is important for hair growth and preventing baldness.

It has been scientifically proven that inositol can change some hormonal parameters, for example: it helps to reduce the level of LH (luteinizing hormone), testosterone and prolactin in the plasma, and also takes part in reducing the LH / FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) ratio.

Inositol takes part in restoring the regularity of the menstrual cycle and ovulation. Due to its modulating effects on ovarian function, inositol is used in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocols.

In cases of insulin resistance or type II diabetes, inositol has the ability to improve the overall metabolic picture. In the case of polycystic ovary syndrome, inositol helps to normalize pathophysiological mechanisms associated with metabolic and reproductive disorders.

FOLIC ACID Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin (vitamin B9). Folic acid plays an important role in amino acid metabolism, protein and nucleic acid synthesis (primarily in the production of DNA and RNA) and chromosome repair. Therefore, it is very important for normal cell division and tissue growth.

Folic acid is found in green vegetables with large leaves, liver, eggs and legumes, while its content in fruits (except oranges), meat and milk is quite low.

During cooking, it is almost completely destroyed to folates (90%) in a few minutes.

When is it useful to use Inofert?

Inofert can be used as an additional source of folic acid, a source of inositol, as an auxiliary drug in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocols. In addition, Inofert can be used as an adjuvant drug for polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance, prediabetes and type II diabetes.

How to take Inofert?

Inofert can be taken at any time during the day. It is recommended that adults take 1 sachet per day with meals. Dissolve the powder in a glass of water. Duration of treatment is 1 month.

Folic acid

This is one of the most famous water-soluble B vitamins, included in balanced vitamin and mineral complexes for pregnant women. Without its sufficient intake into the body, normal growth and development of the immune, nervous, and cardiovascular systems do not occur. Folic acid undergoes biotransformation in the body, the biologically significant product of which is tetrahydrofolic acid. This organic compound promotes the timely maturation of megaloblasts - large nucleated precursors of red blood cells with their subsequent transformation. The importance of folic acid for the human body is difficult to underestimate:

  • Without a bioactive substance, amino acid metabolism and choline metabolism are impossible, pyrimidines and purines are not formed, and nucleic acids are not biosynthesized;
  • folic acid is an integral participant in biochemical processes aimed at the formation of DNA, RNA, correction of chemical damage and breaks in their molecules;
  • the active component Inofert promotes normal cell division and tissue growth.

Valuable sources of folic acid for the human body are large-leaf green vegetables, liver, eggs, and legumes. During heat treatment of products, it is immediately destroyed - about 85% of this bioactive substance is lost. Therefore, doctors recommend consuming vegetables only in their raw form. When stewed or boiled, dried or frozen, therapeutically inert folates are formed from folic acid.

Interaction with other drugs

Since Inofert contains vitamins, some drugs may affect their absorption. For maximum effect, you should inform your doctor about all medications that the woman is taking.

Antacids (Maalox, Almagel), oral hormonal contraceptives, drugs with nitrofurans, and sulfonamides have a negative effect on the absorption of folic acid.

There are medications that, on the contrary, increase the bioavailability of Inofert dietary supplement. This:

  • ascorbic acid (vitamin C);
  • AT 12;
  • tocopherol;
  • probiotics.

In turn, inositol enhances the effect of vitamin E.

What is Inofert intended for?

In combination, the components of the bioactive supplement can improve the functioning of the organs of the female and male reproductive system. The main indication for taking Inofert is the absence of pregnancy for a certain period of time. It is used to treat relatively correctable female infertility. After a course of taking the drug, the quality of eggs increases, which is especially important at the stage of preparation for artificial insemination, as well as before ovulation stimulation. The drug is included by doctors in the therapeutic regimens of patients with the following pathological conditions:

· polycystic ovary syndrome with disturbances of menstrual and reproductive function of any severity, preventing conception and (or) pregnancy;

· metabolic syndrome, which provokes the development of diabetes mellitus and complicates its course;

· ovulation disorders, irregular menstrual cycle;

Prediabetes is an early disorder of carbohydrate metabolism that precedes the onset of type 2 diabetes.

As part of complex therapy, a bioactive supplement is used to restore hormonal levels and improve sperm quality in men.
