In addition, the B group vitamins are the most important dietary determinants of homocysteine, which counteract the homocysteine increasing effect seen with metformin therapy. Folic acid addresses issues of oocyte quality, maturation, and implantation. Low serum vitamin D concentrations are associated with insulin resistance and obesity in PCOS.
