Hormone Balance Supplements: 6 Ingredients For Healthy Levels

Healthy vitamin D levels are critical for optimized hormonal balance, reproductive health, fertility outcomes, and even sexual satisfaction.

One study from The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that women with sufficient vitamin D status [i.e., a 25(OH)D level of 30 ng/ml or higher] had a higher likelihood of becoming pregnant 1 than those with insufficient and deficient vitamin levels.* On the flip side, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased estrogen levels, which can lead to a number of hormonal issues.

In men, vitamin D has been found to influence fertility outcomes as well: A 2011 study published by Hormone and Metabolic Research found that men with overweight saw increased testosterone levels 2 when taking a daily vitamin D supplement while a 2020 World Journal of Men’s Health review found that vitamin D can help improve sperm motility 3 (a vital male fertility metric).*

If you’re concerned about how your vitamin D levels may be impacting your hormonal health, consider taking a 25(OH)D test to see if you could benefit from a daily D3 supplement. For truly optimal vitamin D levels (i.e., 50 ng/ml or higher), try taking 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 (not D2) with a healthy fat to ensure proper absorption and bioavailability.

Hi there! My husband and I are on our path to parenthood, and after facing the challenges of infertility, I decided to become a fertility coach and concierge. Our journey has inspired me to support others who may be experiencing something similar. While we're still on this road ourselves, I wanted to share our story and be a source of encouragement for those navigating their own paths to parenthood. Let’s take this journey together!
