A few years back I was diagnosed with PCOS. PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is common disorder among women ages from 15-50. According to Dr. Meriggiola, PCOS is considered as a collection of symptoms of other diseases. PCOS causes irregular menstrual cycles, excessive body or facial hair. The common PCOS can heighten the occurrence of the following diseases:

All of the abovementioned can cause a serious threat to anyone’s health. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can be treated accordingly depending on the proper diagnosis. This may include:

However, Dr. Lisa Watson a Naturopathic Doctor believed that glutathione that is considered the most important antioxidant that is present in the human body. According to the study published in the Journal of Obstetrical and Gynaecological Research, NAC that is in glutathione when combined with clomiphene citrate shows significant effectiveness in treating PCOS with less adverse effects and zero cases of ovarian hyperstimulation has been reported.
