Vitamin D Pregnancy Link

This is another tout

for taking your doses of vitamin D. If you have not already figured it

out this is one thing that is easily supplemented and safe to do that prevents a lot of insidious weakening of the body. Our culture and present lifestyles typically do not provide enough sunlight yet it is not as if you body will give a real warning.

Anyway, statistical analysis has picked up a modest signal that appears to suggest that the mother’s exposure to sunlight may be linked to a predisposition to MS. This is obviously a weak link but certainly an excellent argument for supplementation during pregnancy. Another good reason to do what should

be done in any event.

I often think that so

much of our work has gone toward establishing minimum levels of supplementation for the range of substances that our body needs in small

quantities. This is possibly an error.

I have seen vitamin D

dosage drift with additional findings from 400 IU to the present 1000 IU. I personally take 2000 IU to put myself well on the safe side of my needs. This is perfectly safe.

There is also a lot of controversy around dosage levels of vitamin C of Linus ing fame.

Many act as though a 1000 IU is excessive. Yet in the proper buffered form it is possible to consume 15,000 IU which is appropriate for a person who weighs around a hundred kilo. ing himself was taking 13,000 IU.

I would not be saying

this about obscure trace metals that are provided in possibly a poorly accepted form, but for these particularly important and well understood products it is possible to be aggressive.
