Abstract

Apart from the well-known effects of vitamin D in maintaining calcium homeostasis and promoting bone mineralization, there is evidence to suggest that it modulates reproductive processes. About 70% adults have vitamin D deficiencies and there is a gap between recommended dietary intakes and deficient supply in general population. Observational studies show that vitamin D deficiency is a risk marker for reducing fertility and resulting adverse pregnancy. Evidence suggests that it could have beneficial effects on metabolic, hormonal and cellular parameters of polycystic ovarian syndrome, uterine myomatosis and endometriosis, while it seems to be associated with improvements in outcome of in vitro fertilization. The objective of this review was to evaluate the data of current literature on the role of vitamin D supplementation in pregnant women and in women with gynecological pathologies. Keywords: Vitamin D, Supplementation, Pregnancy, Endometriosis, Uterine myomatosis, Infertility.
