Abstract

Background: Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) often lack vitamin D, with a blood 25- hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) level of <20 ng/ml seen in 67–85% of PCOS patients. Decreased 25OHD values were connected to insulin resistance, ovulatory and menstrual anomalies, poor pregnancy efficiency, obesity, hirsutism, hyperandrogenism, and higher cardiovascular illness risk factors, according to observational investigations
