Maintain vitamin D levels for optimum pregnancy health

As the importance of Vitamin D continues to hit the headlines, we are all starting to realise how important the sunshine vitamin is in our bodies.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to bone diseases in children and adults, including osteoporosis and rickets. It also has a major function in our overall health and wellbeing, including heart health, a strong immune system and good mental health.

Low Vitamin D levels can have a major impact on expectant mothers and the foetus. Importantly, research now shows that pregnant women with low levels of Vitamin D may have higher rates of pregnancy related health conditions.

In addition, if the mother is Vitamin D deficient, babies who are breastfed are also at risk of health problems.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women are one of the vulnerable groups for Vitamin D deficiency.

Only 10 per cent of our required Vitamin D levels come from our diet, the remainder is absorbed when exposed to sunlight.

However reducing the risk of vitamin D deficiency in mums-to-be can be fixed easily with oral supplementation.

Despite some concerns by health professionals regarding high doses of Vitamin D, research has found that supplements can be a safe and effective way to improve levels.*
