Low Vitamin D Levels Could be Worsening Your Endo and Period Pain

Finally, about two months later, I am wrapping up my series on certain vitamins and minerals and their association with period/endo pain when low.

Now, just to recap and highlight, the key nutrients we see associated with more severe menstrual or endo pain when low, or shown to improve menstrual/endo pain are:

Vitamin A
Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 (for those of you wondering, folate - otherwise known as B9 - hasn’t been associated with menstrual pain, but does improve ovulation and hormonal health)
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Calcium
Zinc
Magnesium
Omega 3 fatty acids

So today, we’re focusing on the last one in the series, and that’s vitamin D.
