Vitamin D Life

Should be able to greatly reduce congenital heart disease if restore vitamin D and omega-3 before conception.

If not, a loading dose of vitamin D early in the first trimester should help a lot.

Standard dosing of vitamin D, which starts about week 10 does not provide much benefit until week 20, long past the time which it can reduce congenital heart disease.

  • Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs) CDC
    "Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common types of birth defects, "
    "CHDs affect nearly 1% of―or about 40,000―births per year in the United States."
    "About 20% to 30% of people with a CHD have other physical problems or developmental or cognitive disorders"
    "In 2005, for a privately insured population in the Unites States, the estimated medical care costs for an average infant with any CHD was about $23,000, and costs were higher for infants with a severe CHD"


Thus, on average, we would only save $230 in average medical birth costs if totally eliminated Congenital heart defects
Preventing premature births is far more cost effective than preventing CHD
