What is the Dose-Response for Maternal Vitamin D Supplementation in Lactating Mothers?
Discussion
Vitamin D is an important vitamin for bone formation and mineral homeostasis. Hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, osteomalacia, rickets and tetany can all result because of Vitamin D deficiency. Deficiency is caused by inadequate dietary intakes of Vitamin D, inadequate exposure to sunlight or patients with fat malabsorption or renal disease. Even in high sun exposure areas of the world, Vitamin D deficiency can occur because of inadequate exposure due to clothing or cultural practices. Sunscreen blocks sunlight and an SPF (sun protection factor) of 8 blocks 95% of the sun, so there needs to be a careful balance bet...
