The supplement L-Carnitine, a vitamin-like substance, is discussed in the current edition of PCOS Review.
Editor Bill Slater outlines the many reasons why L-Carnitine supports various important body functions such as burning fat for energy. Additionally, it may “stimulate hair shaft elongation” and reduce the death of hair cells as well as decrease the risk for cardiovascular health issues.
Interestingly, women with PCOS appear to be deficient in carnitine.

L-Carnitine is used in the Insulite PCOS System to increase insulin sensitivity which is key to reversing insulin resistance, considered to be the main underlying cause of PCOS. The formulas of the Insulite PCOS System also include vital nutrients such as saw palmetto, vitex, flax seed, vanadium and chromium among others.

The Reproductive Medicine Network (RMN) has today announced plans to launch a series of clinical trials and participants are needed.
The trials will focus on four areas: Female Infertility, Male Infertility, IVF (in vitro fertilization) and multiple gestations as a result of ovarian stimulation.
The RMN study for female infertility will address women with PCOS. It’s goal is to determine the efficacy of various medications designed to aid in conception and live birth outcomes.
The trials will include 750 female participants, 100 of which will visit the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. (Interested Michigan-based women may contact Linda Vandell, 734-998-4973 email: vandelll@umich.edu.)
