The Vitamin that can fight infertility!

The problem of infertility can be attributed to too many reasons … however, there is one more, which often tends to be neglected, but it remains equally important, and this is the lack of vitamin D from the body of both men and women. D is a vitamin, which can be detected in the human body in various forms, but usually remains inactive. It is located on the skin and its existence is due either to the consumption of certain foods or to sun exposure. According to recent scientific evidence, an increased incidence of vitamin D deficiency has been observed in recent years, which negatively affects both the overall health of the human body and its individual systems, with more prominent the reproductive system.

The lack of this vitamin is a common problem among women today and is due, on the one hand, to the eating habits / choices they follow and, on the other hand, to the insufficient solar radiation they receive on a daily basis. Vitamin D is a major driving force for the production of reproductive hormones. Results of many studies confirm the role of vitamin D in the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. More specifically, studies have shown that vitamin D levels in women who do not experience fertility problems are much higher, compared to women diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. In addition, this vitamin activates the Anti Mullerian Hormone – or Hormone of Fertility – which is a prognostic indicator of ovarian function, but also enhances the production of good quality eggs, thus facilitating later implantation in the uterus woman. It is essential to mention, in addition, that good levels of vitamin D in the human body increase the chances of a successful attempt to treat assisted reproduction. Vitamin D strengthens progesterone but also optimizes estrogen levels, hormones essential to the reproductive health of women.

In men, vitamin D improves sperm mobility, number and morphology. It also increases testosterone levels and activates libido. In a study, conducted at the University of Copenhagen involving 300 men, 44% of them had low levels of vitamin. Volunteers who had the lowest levels had the poorer sperm quality. It is also believed that vitamin D contributes to the good absorption of calcium, which plays a key role in the mobility of sperm (source Greenmed.gr, 2009).

So, how can vitamin D deficiency be recognized in time?

In each person, evidence of vitamin D deficiency is different. Symptoms vary with more widespread lack of attention and concentration, musculoskeletal pain and headache. However, what you can do and provide immediate answers is to check your vitamin D levels in your body through a simple hematological examination.

How can one increase the levels of vitamin D in their body?

The simplest and most immediate way to optimize / increase the levels of this vitamin is the 30-minute daily sun exposure. In addition, eating foods rich in vitamin D should be a daily part of your daily diet. Such foods are eggs, fish and dairy products. In addition, you can also take vitamin D supplements to supplement your diet if you do not consume or do not wish to consume the above foods.
