If you have PCOS there’s a chance you will also have poor levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin but also a hormone. This means that cells in the body have vitamin D receptors on them. Not having sufficient amounts of vitamin D can affect most systems in the body.
Low vitamin D status is highly prevalent among the PCOS population and is linked to many metabolic complications associated with the disease. Fortunately, there are many ways to restore your nutrient stores to a healthy equilibrium.
The primary source of vitamin D is direct sunlight. Besides sunlight, you can also get vitamin D from food sources. However, it’s important to caveat this can be challenging because vitamin D is only found in a small number of foods, including oily fish, liver, eggs, red meat, and fortified foods, like breakfast cereals. Vitamin D supplements are available as single supplements or combined in multivitamin and mineral formulations.
