Impact of Low Vitamin D on PCOS

Ever wonder what your vitamin D status is?

Or maybe you hear about vitamin D being low during the winter months.

Perhaps you’ve felt compelled to soak up a little sun for vitamin D.

When it comes to PCOS and vitamin D levels, we don’t often hear about the connection between the two. However there are a lot of connections.

Connections between Vitamin D and PCOS

• Low levels are associated with insulin resistance
• Vitamin D can lower abnormally high levels of AMH
