Not getting your period regularly? That could be because you're not getting enough sun. I'm not kidding you. According to the latest research on vitamin D, presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine conference in San Francisco, women with ovulation problems or PCOS were far more likely to be lacking in vitamin D than the other women.
The study, led by researchers at Yale University, involved 67 women, of whom 18 had problems ovulating.
Apparently, 93 percent of women who are infertile are deficient in Vitamin D. Yikes!
"Of note, not a single patient with either ovulatory disturbance or polycystic ovary syndrome demonstrated normal Vitamin D levels; 39 per cent of those with ovulatory disturbance and 38 per cent of those with PCOS had serum 25OHD levels consistent with deficiency." — Dr. Lubna Pal of Yale, quote in the Telegraph
Not surprised on this one. Vitamin D is super important for our health. And few of us get enough of it.
