Vitamin D affects the effectiveness of the IVF procedure

Italian scientists conducted a study that analyzed the success of IVF treatment among women with different levels of vitamin D.

This vitamin is a steroid hormone produced in the human body when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting the normal operation of the musculoskeletal system. And recently, scientists have seen that the presence of vitamin D depends on fertility.

The study involved women who took IVF treatment during 2012. 154 women have been marked deficiency of vitamin D, in 181 female hormone levels were normal (at least 20 ng/ml).

It was established that the patients that didnt suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D, became pregnant twice more likely than women with insufficient "sun hormone" in the body.

As the researchers suggest, vitamin D has an effect on the production of good quality oocytes, as well as contributes to the successful implantation of embryos during IVF.
