All pregnant women should take 4,000 international units of vitamin D daily — 10 to 20 times the dose the leaders of Canada’s pregnancy specialists currently recommend — to lower their risk of preterm labour, preterm birth and infections concludes the first study to investigate the safety of high doses of vitamin D during pregnancy.
The study found that women in its 4,000-IU-a-day group had half the risk of premature delivery than women who took just 400 IU of vitamin D daily.
Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn deaths in Canada.
And “not a single adverse event” related to vitamin D dosing was found during the study — as U.S. researchers will report Saturday at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Vancouver.

Vitamin D3 Update:
I am continuing with the daily 50,000 IU’s of Vitamin D3 in addition to my other supplements that include Omega 3/6/9 Oils, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin K2, and Vitamin CoQ10 that feed the brain and heart. Wow, I had such amazing results for the first thirty days on the Vitamin D3 program, that I have decided to continue for the next thirty days. Certainly I am experiencing greater mental clarity and ability, more energy and stamina, reduction of pain and inflammation and as well the complete elimination of low level depression.
Stayed tuned to the next e-newsletter where I will explain how I lost 14 inches from my body in the past 30 days. Hard to believe? I am totally amazed as well. This is definitely the program for those who hate to diet and dislike exercise even more. This is a fun program that is low cost, easy to start at any level and you will in a short time begin to see daily results as your body fires up its metabolism. Can’t wait to see my results on this after 60 days. Best wishes, Gail
