Benefits
Vitamin D is widely recognised for its critical role in supporting bone health and immune function, but its impact extends far beyond these areas. It plays a vital role in mental health, hormonal balance, inflammation reduction, and glucose metabolism. Vitamin D is essential for proper hormone signalling, and a deficiency in this nutrient is surprisingly common, affecting up to 40% of the population, particularly in regions with limited sun exposure or during the winter months.Research has shown a link between low vitamin D levels and more severe PMS symptoms, including mood swings, fatigue, and cramps. Studies indicate that correcting a deficiency through supplementation can reduce PMS symptoms by up to 41%. Vitamin D also aids in reducing inflammation, which contributes to pain and hormonal imbalances, and supports optimal glucose metabolism, helping regulate insulin sensitivity.
