Summary
This study tested whether a special supplement containing antioxidants and probiotics could improve egg quality in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing IVF. Twenty women took either the supplement or a placebo (just folic acid) during their IVF cycle. Researchers measured the number of mature eggs and markers of oxidative stress and gut health.

If it works, this could point toward a way to improve egg quality and IVF success for women with PCOS.
