Vitamin D3 cuts premature birth risk and protects newborn babies
Powerful new evidence about the way that Vitamin D3 can
reduce the risk of premature births and boost the health of
new-born babies has emerged from an international research
conference in Bruges. Delegates were told that mothers who
were given ten times the usual dose of vitamin D3 during
pregnancy had their risk of premature birth reduced by half
and had fewer small babies.
......
Over the two and a half years of the study thousands of
tests were made and monitored by an external safety
committee. Not a single test showed any adverse effect of
the large dose of vitamin D3. The average level of vitamin D
in the women's blood increased by about 50 per cent.
.......
In addition, the normally recommended level of sun exposure
does not produce enough vitamin D3, according to a separate
study reported at the Bruges meeting. Sunlight is the major
source of vitamin D3 and so advice on sun exposure is
crucial for health. Food cannot supply more than 10% of what
is needed.
......
Previous studies have already shown that infants born to
vitamin D deficient mothers may be at greater risk of low
birth weight, lower respiratory tract infections, asthma,
and weak bones.
.....
However, of particular interest is that this study
considered levels less than 20ng/ml to indicate
insufficiency. Vitamin D experts agree that levels less that
50ng/ml should be considered insufficient. Had the study
analyzed the results using levels of less than 50ng/ml as
the definition of insufficiency the results would have been
much worse.
