Vitamin D3 in menopause management
Utilizing a Combination of Supplements Comprising Boric Acid, Magnesium, Vitamin D3, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil to Improve Metabolism in Menopausal Ovariectomized Rats.
Studies suggest vitamin D3 benefits
In this study, we explored how vitamin D3, among other supplements, affects metabolic health during menopause. The research utilized a group of ovariectomized female rats, which serve as a model for menopausal conditions in women. These rats were divided into several groups, including a control group and various groups that received different treatments, including vitamin D3.

The findings indicated that administering vitamin D3, along with boric acid, magnesium, and extra virgin olive oil, led to notable improvements in metabolic parameters. We observed benefits in areas such as inflammation and oxidative stress, which are crucial for managing health during menopause. However, while vitamin D3 showed positive effects, the study highlighted that the combination of all supplements had a more significant impact than vitamin D3 alone.

Ultimately, while vitamin D3 contributes positively to metabolic health in menopause, the full extent of its isolated benefits remains unclear without further studies. Thus, we recognize the need for additional research to fully understand how effective vitamin D3 can be independently in this context.

Vitamin D3's mixed effects observed
Retrospective Analysis of the Effect of Postmenopausal Women Medications on SARS-CoV-2 Infection Progression.
Addresses vitamin D3 in menopause
We examined the role of vitamin D3 in the context of menopausal women's health, particularly its effect on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In a large-scale study focusing on women over 50 in Italy, we analyzed data from 124,393 participants, noting that 6,412 women were infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Our findings revealed that women taking vitamin D3, either alone or alongside calcium, experienced a notable 26% reduction in their risk of contracting the virus. This highlights vitamin D3's potential benefit during a tumultuous time for many, especially those managing menopausal symptoms.

However, we also observed a concerning trend: the same group of women treated with vitamin D3 showed a doubled risk of hospitalization if they did contract COVID-19. This raises important questions about the balance of benefits and risks linked to vitamin D3 treatment during menopause.

Overall, our analysis sheds light on an important topic—the role of vitamin D in both immune health and possible menopausal symptom management, while also indicating that its use is not without potential drawbacks.

Relieved back pain
Briefly about my case: I discovered iHerb from a client while dealing with menopause that caused discomfort in my lower back. Until 50, I had no issues. Despite trying yoga, anti-inflammatories, and injections with no success. After taking Vitamin D3 (1,000 IU) each morning, I noticed I began to forget about the back pain. I plan to test my vitamin D levels and will continue taking it. Remarkably effective within two weeks. I recommend it.

Supports bone health
To maintain bone health during menopause, I purchased Vitamin D3 5000 IU from Solgar, as I was worried about decreased bone strength due to limited sunlight exposure. The small tablets are easy to swallow, and I felt immediate comfort after taking them—almost like a placebo effect.
