The aims of the present study are to examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on quality of life, blood lipid profile and C- reactive protein. This clinical trial is conducted on 80 women suffering from cyclical mastalgia. They are randomly (through block randomization) allocated into the two study groups of vitamin D and placebo. The data collectors and participants will be kept blind to group allocation to create a double blind trial. This study will be conducted in the three centers affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The inclusion criteria include: having mastalgia for at least 5 days per menstrual cycle, vitamin D level between 10-30 Nano gram per milliliter, without any severe somatic or psychological disease, and no history of breast cancer. The vitamin D group will receive 2000 International Unit (IU) vitamin D per day for 8 weeks, whereas the control group will receive placebo. All women with serum vitamin D less than 10 ng/ml (severe deficiency) will receive 2000 IU vitamin D per day for 8 weeks. Their before and after intervention data will be compared at the end of the study. Stressful life events such as a family member death or starting a new program such as an exercise program or a new diet in daily life will lead to drop out from the study. The quality of life is measured before and after intervention in all participants. Also, vitamin D, lipid profiles and C- reactive protein of blood will be measured two times, before and after intervention.
