Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disease seen only in humans and is classically characterized by polycystic ovaries, amenorrhea, hirsutism, insulin resistance, and obesity. Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent among 13 women with PCOS and supplementation with 1500 mg of Calcium a day and 50,000 iu of Vitamin D2 every week normalized menses and fertility in all the women in the study in three months of treatment. [v] In recent years the focus of treating PCOS is to target the insulin resistance and prescribe the drug Metformin. You may recall that this drug is commonly used to treat Type II diabetes. You may also recall that Vitamin D appears to be more effective and reducing insulin resistance than Metformin.
