Ingredients
Inositol
Inositol is a type of sugar found in every cell of the human body. It’s naturally present in foods such as meat, fruits, corn, seeds, and vegetables. There are nine stereoisomers of inositol, the most important being myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol. In addition to its role in the development of cell membranes, inositol can also influence insulin activity and certain chemical messengers in the brain. This may affect the body's ability to manage metabolic and mental health disorders.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral involved in over 200 enzymatic reactions in the human body. It plays a key role in the development of female reproductive cells, fertility, and pregnancy. Beyond its reproductive functions, zinc is vital for various aspects of cellular metabolism — supporting immunity, protein synthesis, cell signalling and division, maintaining healthy skin and hair, normal carbohydrate metabolism, and protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Vitamin B9
Also known as folate, vitamin B9 is essential for the proper functioning of the body. It cannot be synthesised by the body and must therefore be obtained through food or supplementation. It plays a key role during pregnancy by supporting the growth of maternal tissues. Our formula uses Quatrefolic®, a patented active form of vitamin B9, ensuring high bioavailability.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is essential to the human body, acting as a coenzyme involved in over 100 enzymatic reactions, primarily related to protein metabolism. It also plays a role in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, and fats. Vitamin B6 is crucial for cognitive development by supporting the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and helping maintain normal homocysteine levels. Additionally, it contributes to hormonal regulation, helps reduce fatigue, and supports normal mental function.

Ovastart vs. Other Inositol-Based Supplements
Like all our formulas, Ovastart is carefully designed with highly bioavailable actives. We’ve chosen a patented form of Vitamin B9 instead of the synthetic folic acid found in most supplements. Our Zinc and Vitamin B6 are also included in their most bioactive forms.
As for Inositol, we’ve combined both key isomers — Myo- and D-chiro-inositol — to ensure maximum effectiveness.

We've got answers for you
I haven’t been diagnosed — can I still take it?
If you’re experiencing hormonal imbalances marked by intense PMS, constant fatigue, or unexplained weight gain, Ovastart may be a helpful option.
It can also be beneficial for those with endometriosis or trying to conceive. For women in perimenopause, Ovastart may help support metabolic balance as well.
Who should definitely try this product?
Anyone dealing with irregular cycles, fatigue, acne, hair loss, excess hair growth, hormonal imbalance, or blood sugar dysregulation.
Can I take Ovastart alongside another supplement that contains Inositol?
We don’t recommend combining Ovastart with other supplements that also contain Myo-Inositol or D-Chiro-Inositol. It’s best not to exceed a daily intake of 4000mg of Inositol.
When will I start feeling the effects?
It depends on each woman and the severity of the hormonal imbalance. With OVASTART, some may see their menstrual cycle return after just one month, while for others it may take a bit more time.
That’s why we recommend a 3- to 6-month routine to truly experience the benefits.
If you’re dealing with significant insulin resistance, we suggest combining Ovastart with a 3-month course of Balance tes Sucres for optimal results.
Do I need to wait for my cycle to start Ovastart?
Ovastart is a hormone-free dietary supplement, so you can start your routine at any point in your cycle!
What matters most is consistency — take it daily for at least 3 months to see the full benefits.
Is Ovastart compatible with the pill or anti-androgen treatments?
Yes, absolutely — Ovastart is compatible with all treatments. However, if you're taking anti-diabetic medication, we recommend not taking Ovastart at the same time as your treatment. For example, if you take your medication in the morning and evening, you can take one stick of Ovastart at lunchtime to avoid any potential side effects.
I’m undergoing fertility treatment (IVF/IUI) — can I take Ovastart?
Absolutely — and it’s even recommended! That said, we encourage you to discuss it with your fertility clinic beforehand 😊
Ovastart has been widely studied for its ability to support ovulation and improve fertility, making it a helpful ally during assisted reproduction journeys.
