The impact of a standardized micronutrient supplementation on PCOS-typical parameters: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate whether a micronutrient supplementation preparation that includes a high amount of omega-3 unsaturated acids, other anti-oxidants and co-enzyme Q10 would have an impact on specific serum parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Sixty women with PCOS were assigned to either the "multinutrient supplementation group" (one unlabeled soft capsule containing omega-3 fatty acids and one unlabeled tablet containing folic acid, selenium, vitamin E, catechin, glycyrrhizin, and co-enzyme Q10, for 3 months) or the "control group" (two unlabeled soft capsules containing 200 μg folic acid each,
