Can a simple fish oil pill protect the hearts of women with PCOS?

NCT ID NCT06424860

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a daily fish oil supplement to the standard medication metformin can better protect the heart health of women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It will involve 146 overweight or obese women with PCOS who are already at higher risk for heart problems. Researchers will measure changes in blood vessel thickness, heart function, and blood markers over 12 months to see if the combination is more effective than metformin alone.
