Dear Dr. Serrano:

Do you have any information on vitamin D deficiency and safe ways to treat it during pregnancy? I was found to have a vitamin D deficiency several weeks ago and also found out I am pregnant. Now the midwives, my primary MD, and even the OB's aren't sure what to do.

None of them are comfortable with the WAPF recommendations on increased cod liver oil during pregnancy and they only want me taking a prenatal vitamin. I had taken a boost of Vitamin D hoping it would help, but my second level has not increased much at all. I'd like to find someone with some sound advice for supplementation to bring the amounts up to normal in a safe way. I'm really striking out in finding some sound advice on what appears to be an important issue for those of us following a more nurturing, traditional dietary regime.

My diet is rich in raw organic milk, grass-fed beef, butter, cheese, eggs, and fresh organic fruits and veggies. Sprouted grain whenever possible. Lastly, I now trY to get mid-day sun whenever possible without sunscreen.

I try to take Green Pastures cod liver oil every day. 2 capsules contain Vit a 5000IU, Vit d 500 IU, and EPA /DHA 150/100 mg. I have switched to a Cod liver oil/ high-vitamin butter oil blend which contains the above plus a host of essential fatty acids to aid absorption. I have also doubled the dose for two weeks now, taking 10,000 IU of the Vit A with 1000 IU of Vit D. The Weston Price foundation recommends double that, but some of the doctors are against it, so I have found a middle ground.

My Vitamin D level was 16 about 8 weeks ago, then it was repeated last week and only bumped up to 17. They did the 25 (OH) D test, and the range I believe is 30-60 as normal. I take New Chapter organic prenatals, which only have 400IU of Vit D. My thyroid panel was normal back in February (the first thing they checked). Iron was normal but I don't remember the number.

Thanks for any direction you can provide.

Dear Paula:

Great for the cod liver oil, but I wouldn't take that much vitamin A, because the research shows you must take some precautions. I would change to pure vitamin D, and I recommend Ortho Molecular but you can get vitamin D any where, and if you decide to get Ortho, just call (800) 842-0924, use code SERR10, and they will help you. You need to take 5000IU every day, not 400, it is not enough. I see you live in the North; consequently, exposure to the sun between noon and 2:00 PM for fifteen minutes should help and, it should be enough for you to also get some vitamin D.

Sincerely,

Dr. Serrano
