Red Wine Can Aid Women Who Suffer With PCOS; Study Shows

Red wine is known for its detoxifying benefits. Some say if you consume one or two glasses of wine it can provide health benefits. A new study shows that the red wine can also help women by correcting the hormonal imbalance that is suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome. The natural compound found in the grape skin can aid the imbalance.

Experts involved in the new study, published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, concluded that resveratrol can recover the level of estrogens. The authors claimed that the findings of the study can help improve treatments for PCOS or polycystic ovary syndrome, it is the leading cause of infertility in women, according to UPI.

Senior author Antoni Duleba said in a statement, "Our study is the first clinical trial to find Resveratrol significantly lowers PCOS patients' levels of testosterone as well as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), another hormone that the body can convert into testosterone. This nutritional supplement can help moderate the hormone imbalance that is one of the central features of PCOS."

In the experiment, the experts analyze the blood samples of 30 women who are suffering from PCOS, through randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The researchers found that the total testosterone levels fell by 23.1 percent in the experimental group and increased by 2.9 percent in the placebo group.

Meanwhile, to addressing hormonal imbalances, scientists note resveratrol can help treat diabetes by preventing insulin resistance.

Antoni Duleba added that "The findings suggest resveratrol can improve the body's ability to use insulin and potentially lower the risk of developing diabetes. The supplement may be able to help reduce the risk of metabolic problems common in women with PCOS," according to Science Daily.
