However, our detoxification systems are also needed to regulate steroid hormones such as estrogen. Suboptimal liver and digestive tract function, in combination with excessive exposure to xenoestrogens, can lead to enterohepatic recirculation of estrogens and ultimately create an estrogen- dominant state with negative health implications for the body. Thankfully, a number of natural compounds have been identified to promote proper estrogen detoxification and healthy hormone metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndole-3-carbinol (I-3-C) is naturally found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower and it is well-known for its ability to support healthy estrogen metabolism. I-3-C upregulates the production of 2-OHE1, the protective form of estrogen that acts as an estrogen antagonist. 16-OHE1, on the other hand, has potent estrogenic and proliferative effects that oppose the action of 2-OHE1. Research has repeatedly shown that a higher ratio of 2-OHE1 to 16-OHE1 is protective against disease and desirable for improving symptoms in estrogen dominant conditions. I-3-C improves this ratio of estrogen metabolites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumerous trials have shown that this positive shift in estrogen metabolites, as a result of I-3-C supplementation, is advantageous for health outcomes. For example, I-3-C has been shown to improve estrogen ratios and health outcomes in women with cervical disease. Animal studies have also found that I-3-C can prevent unhealthy cellular differentiation in breast tissue. Not only does I-3-C promote a positive estrogen metabolite ratio, but it additionally influences the expression of multiple genes, such as tumor-suppressing gene p53 and BRCA1, that collectively support the healthy differentiation of hormonally sensitive tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI-3-C is naturally metabolized in the body to provide multiple active compounds, including the predominant metabolite diindolylmethane (DIM). Although debate exists regarding whether DIM or I-3-C is most beneficial as a health supplement, each compound has its advantages. I-3-C provides the body with many active metabolites, while DIM appears to be a primary metabolite with a potent detoxification activity. Both compounds are well-researched and effective treatments for the proper regulation of estrogens in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-glucarate, or glucaric acid, is another natural compound found naturally in oranges, carrots, apples and broccoli, and it promotes the detoxification of excess hormones, various toxins and carcinogens by deactivating B-glucoronidase. B-glucoronidase is an enzyme produced by colonic microflora that can ‘reactivate’ compounds that had previously been neutralized by the liver, preventing the recirculation of these toxins in the body. Animal studies have found that large doses of calcium-D-glucarate can reduce estrogen levels in the blood by up to 23% and also favorably impact lipid balance. Quite simply, calcium-D-glucarate is one of the best known natural B-glucoronidase inhibitors and the best studied form to safely deliver D-glucarate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, sulphoraphane glucosinolate (SGS) is a naturally occurring compound that, like I-3-C and DIM, is also found in broccoli and cruciferous vegetables. Numerous clinical trials support its use in promoting healthy cellular differentiation through the removal of xenobiotics and powerful induction of phase 2 detoxification enzymes in the liver. For example, SGS has been shown to reduce the carcinogenic effects of aflatoxin exposure on liver tissue. SGS also has anti-inflammatory actions through the inhibition of nuclear factor kappaB (NFkB), prostaglandin E2 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), it can reduce estrogen receptor expression in breast tissue and it has antimicrobial activity against pathogens such as H. pylori, S. pyogenes and S. aureus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt three capsules per day, Cyto-Matrix’s Estro Matrix contains 200mg of I-3-C, 100mg of DIM, 1500mg of Calcium-D-Glucarate and 100mg of sulforaphane.

However, specific nutrients are needed in greater amounts and supplementing with a well-formulated prenatal multivitamin complex is recommended to decrease the likelihood of fetal complications and common pregnancy symptoms for the mother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdequate intake of vitamin B9, also known as folic acid, is perhaps the most well-known nutrient requirement during pregnancy. For the past few decades, folic acid has been fortified in grains because it is well-recognized to decrease the risk of neural tube defects. Unfortunately, the synthetic folic acid used in the fortification process may not be sufficient for many women that are unable to efficiently convert into the active 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) due to genetic polymorphisms. For this reason, 5-MTHF is the preferred form for supplementation during the critical fetal development period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike folate, iron plays a crucial role in healthy development. Iron is in extremely high demand during pregnancy as it is needed to make hemoglobin and new blood for the fetus. If this nutritional demand is not met, iron-deficiency anemia is a common concern during gestation. It can present as fatigue in the mother and increase the risk of early labour and low-birth weight for the fetus. Choosing an iron that is well-absorbed but also well-tolerated on the digestive tract is of utmost importance for many women who already suffer from nausea and constipation in pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from the well-established greater needs for folate and iron, many other micronutrients, vitamins and minerals can help to reduce potential health risks during pregnancy. For example, selenium is crucial for thyroid function and women with low selenium or thyroid levels have been shown to have higher risks of miscarriage. Choline is a lipotropic nutrient that positively influences stem cell proliferation and brain and spinal cord formation. Although folate is often referenced for its importance in nervous system development, women that are deficient in choline actually have four times the increased risk of neural tube defects.

Diterpene compounds and flavonoids found in vitex have been demonstrated to exhibit dopaminergic action, thereby reducing prolactin levels and increasing endogenous progesterone levels. Vitex has also been shown to stimulate melatonin secretion in a dose-dependent matter, perhaps providing a mechanism for sleep support. Collectively, these actions would explain why clinical research has found that vitex can improve menstrual cycle regularity, PMS symptoms of bloating, breast tenderness and mood, and perimenopausal symptoms of low libido and fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearch has shown that Vitamins C and E, alone and in combination, are capable of increasing blood levels of progesterone in women.

Vitamin B6 is one nutrient that can help to balance these pathways. The conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin and the synthesis of GABA and dopamine all require vitamin B6 as a cofactor.

However, multivitamin supplements unfairly get categorized as one entity without recognizing massive quality and dosage differences between formulations. For this reason, it is important to evaluate multivitamin formulas on a number of parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirstly, different mineral salts and vitamin forms can drastically affect the absorption rates of nutrients through the digestive tract. For example, B-vitamins must first be converted into their active forms before being used within the body. If vitamin B6 is supplemented as pyridoxine HCl, the liver must first convert it into pyridoxal-5-phosphate before it can efficiently be used in physiological processes. The same principle applies to riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12 and other vitamins. With minerals, carbonate and oxide forms are commonly used despite the evidence that citrate, amino acid chelates and buffered blends demonstrate superior absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, a “one-a-day” multivitamin is convenient but it is often not enough to make a difference in health outcomes. To provide meaningful and evidence-based dosages of a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, more than one vegetable capsule or tablet is required. Unfortunately, to reduce capsule count, many multivitamin formulations include only trace amounts of nutrients or exclude certain nutrients, making the formula incomplete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, specific populations and ages have unique nutritional requirements. When it comes to female nutritional requirements, it is well-known that women are at higher risk than men for osteoporosis and iron deficiency anemia. Additionally, women of reproductive ages require adequate folate intake to aid in healthy fertility outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor these reasons, Cyto-Matrix’s Women’s Multi is formulated with significant, yet well-balanced, amounts of elemental calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, folate and iron.

Of course, infertility may arise as a result of male or female health issues, or some combination of concerns with both partners. While there may be multiple underlying causes or complicating factors, in women the cause is often related to egg production, egg quality, menstrual irregularities or hormonal imbalances. \u003cstrong\u003eCycle Matrix - Ovulatory and Oocyte Support\u003c\/strong\u003e by Cyto-Matrix combines a selection of natural health ingredients to target and improve these parameters in females experiencing infertility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne clinical picture that often leads to infertility in women is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Physiologically, women with PCOS present with insulin resistance and subsequent elevations in androgens and suboptimal progesterone during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. This often results in irregular menses, lack of egg maturation, anovulation and infertility. Fortunately, dietary modifications, lifestyle changes and a number of nutritional supplements have been demonstrated to improve this dysfunctional pattern. One great example of a well-studied nutrient to benefit PCOS is inositol. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInositol\u003c\/strong\u003e is a naturally occurring isomer of glucose and an important nutrient in the B-vitamin family. It is a key component of the cellular membrane and increases the sensitivity of cell receptors to serotonin, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, thyroid hormones and insulin. At doses of 1-4 grams\/day, inositol has been shown to improve insulin and glucose control, regulate ovulation, improve egg quality, lower androgens and improve fertility in women with PCOS. When combined with folic acid, inositol has been demonstrated to improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) rates. Moreover, one study found that this same combination of nutrients was more effective at inducing ovulation and achieving pregnancy in infertile women with PCOS when directly compared to metformin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the topic of \u003cstrong\u003efolate\u003c\/strong\u003e, even though it is classically known for its importance in the first trimester of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida and anencephaly, research has shown that it also plays a crucial role in fertility and pregnancy preparation. For example, studies have found that higher folate levels are associated with improved oocyte development, embryo quality and implantation, clinical pregnancies and live birth rates. In addition, research has found that lower levels of folate may be accompanied with a higher risk of early miscarriage. The high prevalence of genetic modifications in the 5-MTHFR gene strongly suggests that 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), as opposed to synthetic folic acid, is the necessary form for supplementation in all women to ensure proper absorption and utilization. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eN-acetylcysteine (NAC)\u003c\/strong\u003e is another promising treatment for PCOS and infertility. NAC is the rate-limiting substrate needed for the production of endogenous glutathione, one of our body’s most powerful antioxidants and detoxifying compounds. NAC has been used extensively in clinical trials to support optimal health, particularly in cases of liver protection and respiratory conditions. In the context of women’s health, NAC has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, restore ovulation and improve egg quality in PCOS, while also significantly increasing the rate of live birth rates in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. Finally, NAC has been shown to improve pregnancy rates when used adjunctively with clomiphene citrate in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles for women with unexplained infertility. Mitochondrial dysfunction, as a result of any number of environmental toxins, disease states or ageing, is another identified mechanism behind female infertility. This may explain why Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a nutrient known to support mitochondrial function and increase ATP energy production, has shown such promise in various female infertility cases. Although CoQ10 has classically been used as a cardiovascular nutrient, recent research has shown that CoQ10 improves conception rates by supporting egg quality, embryo implantation and embryonic growth. \u003cstrong\u003ePyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a unique antioxidant that has been shown to have synergistic beneficial effects on mitochondrial function when used alongside CoQ10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some cases of infertility, the health of the endometrial lining may be a contributing concern and L-arginine may be helpful. \u003cstrong\u003eL-arginine\u003c\/strong\u003e has been supplemented principally for its ability to upregulate nitric oxide and improve blood flow, explaining its benefits on intermittent claudication and exercise performance, but it also has demonstrated merit for women’s health.
