Vitamin D

Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin and plays a crucial role in reproductive function. Low vitamin D levels are linked with reduced fertility and poorer IVF outcomes.

Does it really work?

Yes. Studies show women with sufficient vitamin D are more likely to conceive and have better pregnancy outcomes. Adequate vitamin D supports ovarian function, hormone balance, and endometrial receptivity for implantation.

Can I get enough in real food?

Some. Fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy contain small amounts, but the main natural source is sunlight exposure on the skin. Many people, especially in northern climates, are deficient.

Do I need a supplement for everyday health?

For fertility, yes. Ensuring vitamin D sufficiency before conception is one of the most important steps you can take. A supplement is often necessary to reach optimal levels, especially if sun exposure is limited.
