VIDEO: Dr. Holick - What Is The Relationship Between Vitamin D And Child Birth?

Dr. Holick explains the connection between child birth and vitamin D.

Dr. Holick:
We show that women that were vitamin D deficient had a more difficult time with child birthing, and therefore were more likely to have a cesarean section to be able to deliver their child.
