Vitamin D before, during, and after pregnancy
1. Overview Pregnancy and vitamin D
Vitamin D before, during, and after pregnancy =alternate name
The more vitamin D momtakes, the more benefits for her and the future
child.
The benefits to mom start about 2,000 IU daily average (2000 IU costs less than $15 per year)
Substantial benefits proven for 4,000 IU taken during pregnancy (fewer complications, lower cost)
Best benefits at 6,000 IU - this much is also needed if breast feeding without supplementing the infant
Taking > 2,000 IU raises the cost, primarily due to cost of Cofactors.
Vitamin D during pregnancy
IU Cumulative Benefit Blood level Cofactors Calcium $*/year
200 Better bones for mom
with 600 mg of Calcium
6 ng/ml increase Not needed No effect $2
400 Less Rickets (but not zero with 400 IU)
3X less adolescent Schizophrenia
Fewer child seizures
20-30 ng/ml Not needed No effect $3
2000 2X More likely to get pregnant naturally/IVF
2X Fewer dental problems with pregnancy
8X less diabetes
4X fewer C-sections (>37 ng)
4X less preeclampsia (40 ng vs 10 ng)
5X less child asthma

42 ng/ml Desirable < 750 mg $15
4000 2X fewer pregnancy complications
2X fewer pre-term births
49 ng/ml Must have
cofactors
< 750 mg $75
6000 Probable: larger benefits for above items

clinical trials underway
Just enough D for breastfed infant
Must have
cofactors
< 750 mg $85
$* assumes
You buy fairly |low cost vitamin D and Cofactors (more expensive if liquid and/or vegan )
Using a low cost size of vitamin D - such as 5,000 IU, as often as needed. (50,000 IU costs even less)
Example: 5000 IU every other day if you only want an average of 2500 IU
Test vitamin D levels of those moms who are at high risk for being vitamin D deficient
$30 for a blood test about 6 weeks after starting vitamin D to check that mom is getting enough
