In a new study, it was found that breast cancer patients have low levels of vitamin D, aggravating low bone mass and fracture risk.
These patients have accelerated loss of bone mass due to hormone and chemo therapies.
The recommended weekly supplement for high doses of vitamin D is 50,000 international units or more improved the levels, according to Peppone’s study and the blood levels close to 32 nanograms per milliliter are adequate according to the U.S. Institute of Medicine.
According to Dr. Cedric Garland, a vitamin D expert and pioneer a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer can be ‘virtually eradicated’ by elevating her vitamin D levels to what scientists demonstrate are natural blood levels.
