Health and fertility benefits of Angry Shrimp

Kale is an excellent source of calcium, which has an important role in egg maturation and follicle development in the ovaries. Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.
