Taking vitamin D supplements could help women conceive, research suggests.
Experts at Birmingham University found women undergoing fertility treatment were 33 per cent more likely to have a baby if their vitamin D levels were healthy.
They said the findings may explain why people tend to find it easier to conceive in the summer, when vitamin D levels are boosted by the sun’s rays.
The NHS already recommends women who are pregnant or trying to conceive take daily vitamin D supplements for the sake of the development of their baby.
But the new findings, published in the Human Reproduction journal, suggests it also might help them conceive in the first place.
