Hello there,
PCOD is a set of symptoms seen on the rise in women nowadays. It leads to like you mentioned irregular menses, weight gain, increased hair growth. It is due to your body not responding well to its hormones. So Crisanta is used to regularise your periods.
APCOD is a vitamin D supplement that is given to strengthen your bones.

Now how is PCOD managed?
The best results in PCOD are seen with a loss of weight. If your lose 5% of your body weight through a healthy diet and exercise then you will see a dramatic improvement in symptoms.
Avoid processed food basically anything that is made out of a packet like ready to eat, instant noodles, instant pasta, oily snacks and chat of any kind. Instead have freshly made juices, barley water, home made salads, Cooked veggies. Have heavy breakfasts and lighter dinners.
After Crisanta based on your symptoms metformin can be added as a drug but this has to be decided in consultation with your doctor who will monitor your progress on crisanta.
Hope this helps,
Please feel free to ask any further questions to me. i will be glad to answer them.
