Because there limited natural dietary sources of adequate sunshine cutaneous synthesis is not easily determined a given individual may increase risk skin cancer, recommendations ensure status have been revised include all infants, including those who exclusively breastfed It now recommended...
The need, safety, and effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy remain controversial. In this randomized, controlled trial, women with a singleton at 12 to 16 weeks' gestation received 400, 2000, or 4000 IU D(3) per day until delivery. primary outcome was maternal/neonatal circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin [25(OH)D] concentration delivery, secondary outcomes 25(OH)D 80 nmol/L greater achieved the required achieve maximal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] production. Of...
In recent years, vitamin D has been received increased attention due to the resurgence of deficiency and rickets in developed countries identification extraskeletal effects D, suggesting unexpected benefits health disease, beyond bone health. The possibility was first noted with discovery receptor (VDR) tissues cells that are not involved maintaining mineral homeostasis health, including skin, placenta, pancreas, breast, prostate colon cancer cells, activated T cells. However, biological...
OBJECTIVE: Compare effectiveness of maternal vitamin D3 supplementation with 6400 IU per day alone to and infant 400 day. METHODS: Exclusively lactating women living in Charleston, SC, or Rochester, NY, at 4 6 weeks postpartum were randomized either 400, 2400, D3/day for months. Breastfeeding infants group received oral D3/day; 2400 groups 0 IU/day (placebo). Vitamin D deficiency was defined as 25-hydroxy-vitamin (25(OH)D) <50 nmol/L. ended 2009 greater occurred. Maternal serum D,...

Objective: To examine the effect of high-dose maternal vitamin D3 (vitD) supplementation on nutritional vitD status breastfeeding (BF) women and their infants compared with infant controls receiving 400 300 IU vitD/day, respectively. Design: Fully lactating (n = 19) were enrolled at 1–month postpartum into a randomized- control pilot trial. Each mother received one two treatments for 6–month study period: 0 or 6000 vitD3 plus prenatal containing vitD3. The mothers assigned to group...
The objective was to determine the incidence of vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency in African-American, Hispanic, Caucasian pregnant women. Blood samples were taken from 154 194 146 women at <14 weeks gestation; 25 hydroxyvitamin levels (25(OH)D) measured by radioimmunoassay. mean 25(OH)D 15.5 ± 7.2 (standard deviation), 24.1 8.7, 29.0 8.5 ng/mL, respectively. Ninety-seven percent African-Americans, 81% Hispanics, 67% Caucasians deficient (25(OH)D <20 ng/mL or <50 nmol/L)...
