Abstract

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder associated with hormonal imbalance, irregular menstruation, and insulin resistance. The present study was aimed at developing a polyherbal syrup as a natural and supportive approach for PCOS management. The formulation was prepared using selected medicinal plants including fenugreek, turmeric, aloevera, cinnamon, spirulina, and stevia as a natural sweetening agent. The syrup was formulated by decoction method and evaluated for organoleptic and physicochemical parameters such as color, odor, taste, pH, viscosity, and density. The formulation showed acceptable stability, palatability, and uniform consistency. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of bioactive constituents like flavonoids and tannins, indicating potential therapeutic activity. The use of stevia instead of sugar enhances suitability for individuals with insulin resistance. Overall, the developed polyherbal syrup demonstrates promising potential as a safe and effective supportive formulation for PCOS management, warranting further clinical investigation.
