MAY 1, 2018 – VITAMIN D AND FERTILITY

I have been a big proponent of Vitamin D supplementation. I utilize high doses in females trying to get pregnant. Finally there is some research to support vitamin D and reproduce biology.

There is an association of low vitamin D levels and  reduced clinical pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF that has been well-documented.

Today, adequate vitamin D levels is a predictor of clinical pregnancy.

I also discuss intake of gluten and cows dairy, B12 levels (whether the patient has a methylation defect) and most importantly thyroid levels.

Happy May Day!

Until tomorrow...
