Vitamin D level screening now available in Anam Mai Acupuncture clinics!

I know when on my own journey to start a family and after having 3 losses and all screening through the pregnancy loss clinic revealed that all investigations were clear. I decided to do some digging, along with frequent Acupuncture & Reflexology treatments, I had food intolerance blood tests done(which I now offer in my clinics), eliminated all the foods I was intolerant to and then with the help of Ciara Ryan Nutrition took a closer look at my diet, added supplements, complete gut healing plan along with preconception vitamins, omega 3 oils etc. I had my vitamin D levels checked and was shocked to discover that I was very deficient (2 levels of deficiency under 25 is very bad and under 50 is deficient, optimal levels should be just over 100) my levels were 47 so I took an intensive course of vitamin D for 6-8 weeks and got my levels back up to 120. The following month after I got my levels back up we conceived our little miracle (He is now almost 9 months old, wonderful little ball of energy, and on the move! watch out world)

So here is an interesting trial to support the above, that vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for recurrent pregnancy losses:
