About Ovacore Softgel Capsule

Ovacore Softgel Capsule is used to treat female infertility. It also finds use as an antioxidant and helps in promoting overall physical health alongside its main use. Female infertility is a condition in which a female body is unable to conceive despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for at least one year. 

Ovacore Softgel Capsule contains Coenzyme Q10, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Melatonin. Ovacore Softgel Capsule helps in the synthesis and maintenance of sex hormones in the body, by acting as a parent molecule to sex hormones. Ovacore Softgel Capsule aids the healthy production of egg cells in the female ovary, thereby improving female fertility. Ovacore Softgel Capsule also works as an antioxidant, thus protecting body cells from damage by free radicals.

Ovacore Softgel Capsule may be taken without food, but it is better to take it at a designated time. In some cases, Ovacore Softgel Capsule may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, stomach ache, fatigue, mood swings and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist. 

It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Proceed with caution if you have a history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS, depression, bipolar or schizophrenia. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption with Ovacore Softgel Capsule as there might be an interaction.

Uses of Ovacore Softgel Capsule

Treatment of Female infertility

Medicinal Benefits

Ovacore Softgel Capsule contains Coenzyme Q10, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Melatonin. It is used primarily to treat female infertility. Ovacore Softgel Capsule is a very potent promoter of oestrogen production. Hence, it finds wide use in treating female infertility. DHEA is a naturally occurring sex hormone in the human body, produced mainly by the adrenal glands and liver, besides ovaries and brain cells. It helps in the synthesis and maintenance of sex hormones in the body, by acting as a precursor of sex hormones. It acts directly on plasma membrane receptors and promotes the conversion of sex hormones to their most potent counterparts. DHEA enhances the production of healthy egg cells in the female body and greatly improves the chance of pregnancy. It also greatly reduces the chances of miscarriage by genetically preventing conditions that may lead to loss of pregnancy. Coenzyme Q10 is a very useful antioxidant and aids the conversion of food into energy. It also protects cells from the damage that can be caused by oxygen radicals. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant, and it specifically protects healthy follicles from oxidative damage, thereby improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy. Ovacore Softgel Capsule is thus also a potent energy booster that provides stamina to the body and also improves overall immunity. In addition, Ovacore Softgel Capsule may also be used in treating vaginal atrophy, which is a condition where vaginal tissue thins out.
