What to Expect With a Little More Vitamin D

This morning I was reading an update on a recent study that links low serum vitamin D with an increased incidence of bacterial vaginosis, which is a relatively common concern for women.

The study indicates that In a study with 469 women participating in a pregnancy cohort study, vitamin D levels below 20 nmol/L were associated with a 34 per cent increase in the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis compared to women with vitamin D levels over 80 nmol/L.
Which basically means that low levels (25-30 is considered normal) that in the study group, there was a 34% increased likelyhood of having the vaginosis. I don't know about you, but I expect that many expecting mothers should be taking adequate vitamin D.

What to Expect When Expecting

We created two new sites last week, what to expect when expecting and while pregnant. Both have the look and feel of our chewable prenatal vitamin site, but are just slightly different in their text and target. Obviously the what to expect site is a little broader in its approach to helping pregnant mothers make the right nutritional choices; where the while pregnant page is a bit more personal. If you get a chance, check them out and let us know what you think.

Getting Chewable Prental Vitamin on the Map, or at Least Google

I searched on google for the term chewable prenatal vitamin this afternoon as I commonly do. Actually, I typically search for prenatal vitamin, best prenatal vitamin, bloomen nutrition, chewable prenatal and while pregnant. Today, I was amazed that Bloom’en is mentioned or linked three times on the first page of Google for the search term chewable prenatal vitamin.

How great is that? On the first page, there are links to BloomenNutrition.com, Chewable Prenatal Vitamin.com as well as the Bloomen chewable prenatal vitamin blog. I can’t tell you how excited I am that our search engine optimization endeavors are working to get our chews noticed. Yeah!
