Abstract

Vitamin A deficiency is still a worldwide public health issue in Vietnam. To be able to
provide future recommendations on the timing of interventions, and to contribute to the
theories and practices of vitamin A supplementation for lactating mothers, we evaluated
the effectiveness of a high dose vitamin A supplementation within the first week after
delievery on breask milk retinol status during a 6 week periode. A randomized doubleblind community-based trial was conducted on 337 postpartum mothers. The results
showed that a high dose vitamin A (200.000 IU) supplementation in the first week after
birth improved breask milk retinol status on the second week after birth (p <0.05); while
the supplementation had no effect by the 4th and 6th week. Vitamin A supplementation in
the first week after delivery proved not to be the right time to ensure a long-term and efficiency improvement of breast milk retinol status. Therefore, the study recommends that
more reasearch is needed to find a more appropriate time to intervene, to increase the effectiveness of high-dose vitamin A supplementation for lactating women.
