CHICAGO, IL, September 11, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — Black Girl Vitamins is shaking up the wellness industry with the launch of PCOS Relief, a gummy vitamin specifically formulated for Black women, by Black women. In a groundbreaking collaboration, the Chicago-based brand, and its advisory team of doctors and chemists tackle the unique challenges that Black women face when dealing with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
PCOS Relief is a game-changer, addressing the key symptoms that disproportionately impact Black women, including hirsutism, bloating, irregular periods, and hormonal acne. Each gummy is packed with powerful, science-backed ingredients: inositol to ease hirsutism and acne, vitamin D and DIM (Diindolylmethane) to reduce bloating and irregular periods, vitamin B12 for a boost in energy and metabolic health, and zinc citrate for overall skin health.
This much-anticipated vitamin launched on August 11th on the brand’s website and sold out within 12 hours of its release.
Why It Matters: PCOS and Black Women
PCOS is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by a range of symptoms including hirsutism (excess hair growth), bloating, irregular periods, hormonal acne, and weight gain. The stakes are even higher for Black women:
– Twice as likely to face fertility challenges compared to white women, yet half as likely to receive treatment.
– Increased risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
– More severe experiences of hirsutism and insulin resistance.
– A higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than any other racial group.
– Systemic healthcare disparities lead to longer delays in diagnosis and treatment.
Black Girl Vitamins advisor and lead chemist, Lorraine Lawson shares, “Creating new supplements for PCOS management is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. Each gummy brings our innovations closer to empowerment in women’s health by providing effective tools to better navigate health and wellbeing.”
