Calcidiol in human milk. The effect of prohormone on vitamin D status of breast fed unsupplemented infants

N Le Boulch et al. Endocrinol Exp. 1986 Aug.

Abstract

Vitamin D, free or sulfoconjugated, and calcidiol (25(OH)vitamin D) levels were measured by competitive binding assay in breast milk samples of nursing mothers. Vitamin D status of their unsupplemented breast fed infants was determined. A strong correlation was established during the first month of the infant life only between calcidiol mother milk content and breast-fed infant serum. Calcidiol seems to be the vitamin D derivative mainly responsible for the maintainance of the vitamin D status of the newborn infant.
