Reduced pregnancy rate in women undergoing IVF treatment linked to vitamin D deficiency

(PRWEB UK) 26 September 2014

A new study has found that women with a vitamin D deficiency are far less likely to conceive through IVF treatment than those with the correct levels of the vitamin.

The study - the largest of its kind to date - was published by The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (1) and found that women with sufficient levels of vitamin D (20 ng/ml) were almost twice as likely to conceive as those who were deficient.

Vitamin D, which can be produced in the skin by exposure to the sun, as well as being absorbed from fortified foods and specialist supplements, is fast becoming an emerging factor in fertility.

Vitamin Planet supplies the revolutionary D-MAX vitamin D capsules (2) - containing new OptiZyme absorption technology that has been clinically proven to enhance absorption rates of vitamin D.

D-MAX vitamin D, made in the UK using 100% pure premium Colecalciferol, contains no fillers or binders and is also suited to vegetarian, halal and kosher dietary needs.

Marketing manager Ryan Malting commented, "We've seen a significant increase in sales of D-MAX capsules over the past month and believe that this product offers the best possible results for those looking to increase their body's vitamin D levels."
