Hello Dr Ben I do take prenatal now and vitamin d. Is there natural herbals or vitamins that i can take for joint pain or inflammation. And if I do get pregnant again do you think I should take lovenox or baby aspirin? |

Hi Zahara – 50,000 units of vitamin D is a lot. The level of 35 is not that bad – low yes – terrible – no. If you take that much vitamin D3, you are at risk of getting elevated blood calcium levels. I also suspect you may be taking too much folic acid. Breast feeding is an inflammatory process due to prolactin. You may have an autoimmune reaction going on. Eliminating gluten and dairy is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I recommend you consider taking: 2) 1/4 teaspoon of ProBiota 12 Powder after dinner. 3) 2 capsules of Optimal Krill oil daily with any meal of the day. These recommendations work hard on reducing inflammation and calming your immune system. In order to help you with such a history and questions, a consult is required in order to hear your story more properly and allow me time to digest it and provide thoughts and recommendations. Please call 800-547-9812 to schedule a consult. Jatone, Meg or Brandon will set you up. You may also obtain your consult online here. Look forward to working with you and getting you where you want to be! |

Zahra – It is best to aim for a vitamin D3 level of 45 or so. If you find you are supplementing with Vitamin D3 at high doses and not able to increase your levels, there may be issues such as: |
