Abstract
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is indistinct. However, fibroids appear to be partly determined by hormone levels. There is a high prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency for uterine fibroids. Vitamin D from food or from skin synthesis by sunshine becomes biologically inactive. It is activated by two protein enzyme hydroxylation steps. The first in the liver and the second in the kidney. As Vitamin D can be synthesized, it is considered a prohormone. Vitamin D is taken to the liver where it is transformed into 25[OH] D.
