Vitamin D During Pregnancy Reduces Pre-Eclampsia
|
 Several studies in different parts of the world have shown that there is a benefit to a baby when the mother takes Vitamin D in excess of the amount in prenatal vitamins. This shows that there is a benefit to pregnant mothers in reducing the complications of pregnancy. While the study only looked at a fairly low dose of Vitamin D, probably from cod liver oil and diet, it indicates that supplementation reduced pre-eclampsia (toxemia) by 25%. Other studies show it reduces C-Section rates. Based upon Finish studies, I wonder how much less pre-eclampsia would be found if blood levels of 25 Hydroxy D were raised to 50.
