Article Synopsis
- - Vitamin D may positively influence lipid levels and hormone balance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), even though previous studies showed mixed results.
- - An umbrella meta-analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials indicated that vitamin D supplementation significantly reduced levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, testosterone, and DHEA.
- - Despite these benefits, the analysis found no significant effects of vitamin D on HDL cholesterol, insulin levels, or body mass index (BMI) in PCOS patients.
