The Ultimate Fertility Ally: Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin responsible for increasing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, regulating calcium balance and metabolism in the body, and is an essential nutrient for overall health.
The primary natural source of vitamin D is sunlight exposure 🌞. However, since many people today strive for fair skin and avoid sun exposure, vitamin D deficiency has become common. This deficiency not only affects overall health but also negatively impacts couples trying to conceive.
For women👩, a lack of vitamin D can reduce egg quality and ovarian function, while for men🧑, it affects sperm quality, morphology, and motility. Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) who are deficient in vitamin D may struggle to regulate androgen levels, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, poor egg quality, and ovulation issues 😥.
The recommended daily intake of vitamin D for adults is 600 IU. If a woman trying to conceive is diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, she may consider supplements. However, it is essential to consult a doctor👨⚕️ before taking any supplements to determine the appropriate dosage.
