Together, Tracnil Sachet 5 gm helps in treating PCOS.

Tracnil Sachet 5 gm is a vitamin supplement used to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome. It contains Myo-inositol, Cholecalciferol and Folic acid. Myo-inositol regulates the levels of male sex hormones in the female body, enhances insulin sensitivity, controls blood sugar and reduces high blood pressure and cholesterol. Cholecalciferol is an active form of Vitamin D. It helps in improving insulin resistance and exerts a protective effect on blood sugar, thereby easing the metabolic effects of PCOS. A Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to reduced fertility and Vitamin D3 supplementation in Tracnil Sachet 5 gm helps counter the same. Folic acid is an essential ingredient in the production of healthy red blood cells and is very effective in regulating menstruation, which tends to be dysregulated in PCOS. Thereby, Tracnil Sachet 5 gm helps in enhancing insulin sensitivity, reducing the symptoms of PCOS (such as facial hair, baldness, abnormal periods) and improving fertility.
