- This study shall provide an insight into the effectiveness of Mangifera indica leaves in the management and treatment of PCOS/PCOD, which shall pave the way for an alternative or adjunctive treatment to standardized management. There is a possibility of an assurance of new, cheaper, and efficient treatment modalities to be redefined in women afflicted with this endocrine and complication-involving disorder.
Overview
Brief Summary
The study evaluates their effectiveness in improving metabolic health, anthropometric indices, and sexual hormone levels in women with PCOS. It integrates molecular insights into metabolic dysfunction, reproductive genetics, and cell biology. The research is structured as a funded study, incorporating literature reviews and a scientific approach to validate the therapeutic potential of mango leaves in addressing PCOS-related health concerns.The objectives include investigating their impact on insulin resistance, lipid profiles, blood sugar level, BMI and key reproductive hormones such as LH, FSH, and androgens etc. The methodology involves a clinical study with mango leaf supplementation, where participants will undergo pre- and post-intervention assessments of metabolic and hormonal parameters. Biochemical analyses and statistical evaluations will determine the efficacy of the intervention. Through molecular and clinical insights, this study seeks to validate the therapeutic potential of mango leaves as a nutraceutical intervention for PCOS, offering a natural, evidence-based approach for metabolic and endocrine regulation in affected women.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
This study shall provide an insight into the effectiveness of Mangifera indica leaves in the management and treatment of PCOS/PCOD, which shall pave the way for an alternative or adjunctive treatment to standardized management. There is a possibility of an assurance of new, cheaper, and efficient treatment modalities to be redefined in women afflicted with this endocrine and complication-involving disorder.
Time Frame: 8 week intervention
Secondary Outcomes
- It will provide a framework for future studies on herbal intervention in the management of PCOS/PCOD.
