Vitamin D and Menstrual Cramps....
by Dr. Miki Finlayson, Naturopathic Doctor on 05/24/12
Since I test vitamin D in all my patient's, I have come to see just how deficient and low most people are. A simple blood test can show your levels of vitamin D and how much sun exposure or supplemental care will be needed as recommended by a qualified doctor.
Placebo controlled study in Arch Intern Med, 2012; 172:367-368.
This study in women aged 18-40 with dysmenorrhea and low vitamin D levels received a high dose single dose one week prior to their expected menses. These women experienced less cramping pain, compared to those women who did not receive vitamin D.
Vitamin D good for you.
