The study "Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Ovulation Induction Among Women with Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome" conducted at Al-Zahra University Hospital involved 100 PCOS patients divided into two groups of 50. The Vitamin D group received 50 mg clomiphene citrate twice daily, 10,000 IU of oral vitamin D twice a week, and calcium 1250 mg twice daily for 1 month before and during 3 ovulation induction cycles.
