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.  

Dr. Miki
