Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Zinc and EFA's in Pregnancy and Childhood Asthma

A study, published in the journal Pediatric Pulmonolgy, in 2007, reports “that supplementation of maternal diet with fish oil is associated with altered neonatal immune responses to allergens…. reduced maternal intake of vitamin E, zinc and vitamin D during pregnancy to be associated with increased asthma and wheezing outcomes in children up to the age of 5 years…. vitamin E, zinc, vitamin D and PUFA can modulate T-cell responses. Further research, particularly, early life intervention studies need to be carried out to establish whether early life dietary intervention can be used as a public health measure to reduce the prevalence of childhood asthma.” ²³³

All of our protocols include natural vitamin E, zinc, vitamin D and PUFA’s (polyunsaturated fatty acids – omega-3 and omega-6)
