A new study found that women with vitamin D levels at 40 ng/ml or higher had a 59% lower risk of preterm birth.

Nutritional medicine for Hepatitis B

It is not surprising that sufferers are turning towards nutritional and herbal therapies to fight the virus.

Natural therapies will not usually be able to eradicate the virus from the body; however they will help to prevent the virus from damaging the liver.

This approach is very successful and can keep the virus in a dormant or harmless state so that it does not damage liver cells.

The best way to optimize your vitamin D level is through sun exposure or a safe tanning bed as that virtually eliminates any risk of overdose. As a very general guide, you need to expose about 40 percent of your entire body to the sun for approximately 20 minutes between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm, when the sun is at its zenith. There appears to be no risk of vitamin D toxicity from ultraviolet B exposure.

If you’re using an oral supplement, recent studies suggest adults need about 8,000 IU’s of oral vitamin D3 per day in order to get serum levels above 40 ng/ml.

However, remember that if you take oral vitamin D, you also need to boost your vitamin K2, either through your food choices or a supplement. Vitamin K2 deficiency is actually what produces the symptoms of vitamin D toxicity, which includes inappropriate calcification that can lead to hardening of your arteries.

Six Common Nutrient Deficiencies in autoimmune patients

1. Vitamin D

Even if you live in a warm climate and get plenty of sunlight, your vitamin D levels could still be below optimal levels. This is particularly problematic for patients with an autoimmune disease, because vitamin D plays a critical role in the immune system. Vitamin D supports your ability to fight off viral and bacterial infections that can trigger or worsen autoimmune diseases. Additionally, vitamin D stimulates regulatory T cells, which are responsible for differentiating between dangerous invaders and “self” cells, or cells that belong to the body. When vitamin D promotes the T cells, it teaches the immune system to not attack itself.

2. Omega 3 fatty acids

Many Americans are deficient in Omega 3 fatty acids, mostly because our modern day diet tends to contain more polyunsaturated vegetable oils instead of quality animal fats. Studies have shown that Omega 3 oils enhance B cell activation and select antibody production, which can lower the inflammatory response and help your immune system fight off pathogens.

3. B vitamins

B vitamins have a lot of important functions including providing energy to our cells. They also control immune function, hormones, mood, sleep, nerves, circulation and digestion. Vitamin B12, for example, supports the production of white blood cells, which are essential components of the immune system. When your body is low in B12, the white blood cell count is lowered, which in turn weakens the immune system, making it more susceptible to mistakenly attacking its own cells.

4. Selenium

Studies show that this mineral is essential in regulating excessive immune responses such as those from autoimmune diseases. It is also a crucial nutrient for proper thyroid function, and studies show that increasing selenium in autoimmune thyroid patients decreases their thyroid antibodies.

5. Zinc

Zinc affects multiple parts of the immune system, from the skin barrier to gene regulation within lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). In fact, zinc is crucial for the production of white blood cells, and studies show that people with zinc deficiency are more susceptible to pathogens.

6. Magnesium

Magnesium is important for both immune function and heart health. It is a mineral that most people are chronically lacking, mostly from stress filled lives and diets high in sugar (sugar depletes magnesium levels). Magnesium deficiency has been shown to cause increased production of proinflammatory cytokines, which raises your overall level of inflammation, contributing to autoimmune diseases.

Vitamin D and pregnancy are essential together with Vitamin D supporting the health of both mom and the baby.

Magnesium is a mineral that your body needs to form bone, protein and fatty acids. It relaxes your muscles and helps your blood to clot appropriately. This is a useful mineral if you suffer from leg cramps.

Studies show that magnesium levels are lower in women who have had a premature labour.

Furthermore, because it has a good effect on muscles, it can help to prevent premature contractions by relaxing the muscles of the womb.

Scientists have investigated the effect of giving magnesium during pregnancy and found that women taking magnesium supplements had less chance of having low birthweight and premature babies, and their babies had better Apgar score.

Take it as a separate supplement (apart from what is contained in your multivitamin and mineral tablet) for best effect. A total of 200mg per day is the optimum dosage.

Vitamin D is so important in breastfeeding mothers because low maternal vitamin D status has been linked with a variety of health outcomes, including preterm birth, preeclampsia, rickets and low birth weight.

This study found that infants were likely to receive only 25% of their mothers vitamin D status if their mothers were vitamin D deficient.
