In a study conducted in China 486 women who worked in a textile mill were observed for pregnancy. The study took into account the age of the women their menstrual and pregnancy past and most important it measured the amounts of vitamin b6, b12 and foliate they were getting in their diet. This study evaluated that many women were low in these vitamins and their was a high number of loss pregnancies. Of the 486 women 364 of them conceived during the study, 139 of them resulted in early pregnancy loss. Their was an association with low levels of the vitamin B6 to the women that loss their pregnancy. In addition it was also noted that these women were exposed to the toxins that the textile mill produces and the average age for the women of this study was 15 years old.
If the body is not getting enough of its essential vitamins and minerals to support one being then it has a very difficult time trying to do it for two. There is too much stress on the body and this is what leads to the abortion. For a embryo to develop correctly it needs to have the nutrients to do so. If it is being starved of the nutrients it is likely to die.

Hey Maria, great Blog. I was wondering if you came across any information on B6 and its role in regulating PMS? I have heard this before, but am wondering if it is more of a wives tale.
I have not heard of anything on B6 regulating PMS but I will look into it. I have heard about calcium decreasing the intensity of cramp though. I have aslo tried it out and I found it to realy work.
