Vitamin D and Fibroid Shrinkage

Vitamin D has been found to play a crucial role in reducing the size of fibroids. Research indicates that vitamin D regulates the genes controlling growth, affecting fibroid tissues differently from normal uterine tissue. Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of developing fibroids due to its hormone-regulating properties. Additionally, vitamin D acts as a natural aromatase inhibitor, influencing the growth and apoptosis of fibroid cells.

Around 20% to 50% of all women will have some sort of fibroid or endometriosis before the age of 50. A fibroid is a growth on the uterus that is not cancerous.

Research has shown that vitamin D may help shrink the size of fibroids.

If you’re vitamin D deficient, your risk of developing uterine fibroids is much higher. Vitamin D naturally inhibits the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens to estrogen. Vitamin D can also affect the fibroid itself. If you have enough vitamin D, certain tumor and cancer cells will commit suicide.

Dr. Bruce Hollis has done extensive research on the benefits of vitamin D but says a lot of research on vitamin D has been rejected by top medical journals!

Around 50,000 IUs of vitamin D daily may help shrink fibroids in the uterus. You’ll also need to take the following vitamin D cofactors:

•500 mcg vitamin K2

•800 mg magnesium

•50 mg zinc

•Vitamin B6 and boron (recommended dose on the bottle)

More tips to help shrink fibroids naturally:

• Get on the ketogenic diet

• Increase your consumption of cruciferous vegetables

• Limit dairy consumption
