Vitamin D test

Product Description

Your body needs vitamin D to maintain proper levels of?calcium?and phosphorus, which help build your baby’s bones and teeth. Also Vitamin D itself is important to ensure the proper development of your baby?s brain and muscles.

Vitamin D deficiency is common during pregnancy and inadequate vitamin D can lead to abnormal bone growth, fractures, or rickets in newborns.

Some studies link vitamin D deficiency to a higher risk of pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia,and preterm birth.

The symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency can be subtle. They may include achy muscles, weakness, bone pain, and softened bones, which may lead to fractures.

You can also have a vitamin D deficiency without any symptoms. And if that happens while you’re pregnant, your baby can suffer a deficiency, too. A deficiency in vitamin D can easily be reversed with supplementation but it is important to know whether you have sufficient levels of vitamin D first.

PregnaClinic is offering the 25-hydroxy vitamin D test, which is the most accurate way to measure how much vitamin D is in your body. Give the best start to your baby and ensure your vitamin D levels are sufficient.
