Fertility Capsule III is an exhaustive blood test that evaluates seven crucial hormones: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Prolactin, Estradiol (E2), Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEAS), Progesterone, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). These hormones play pivotal roles in reproductive health and fertility in both men and women. For women, hormones such as FSH, LH, Estradiol, and Progesterone are integral for ovulation and menstrual cycles. DHEAS, derived from the adrenal glands, impacts androgen levels. Prolactin is vital for milk production, and TSH is crucial for thyroid function. In men, FSH and LH are crucial for sperm production and testosterone levels, while DHEAS and TSH play a role in metabolism and general health.
By comprehensively assessing these hormones, Fertility Capsule III provides essential information that can guide further evaluation and treatment for infertility or other reproductive issues. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who are having trouble conceiving or have irregular menstrual cycles.
