Vitamin D boosts fertility

Added 15.04.2011

If you suffer from ovulation problems and can't get pregnant, low vitamin D levels could be to blame, says a study.

Ninety-three percent of infertile women lack vitamin D

Ovulation disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are major contributing factors to sub-fertility and infertility. In a recent study, 93% of infertile women with ovulation disorders also had insufficient levels of vitamin D. According to the researchers, 39% of these women had levels of vitamin D consistent with deficiency.

What is an optimal level of vitamin D?

During the winter months most people don't get adequate sun exposure and this is especially true the further north we live. Even during summer, unless we can be in the sun for about 20 minutes every day, chances are our vitamin D levels are sub-optimal.

Most researchers agree that we should take at least 2000 IU of vitamin D3 (the biologically active form of vitamin D) every day to promote health.
