Women Who Are Due To Give Birth Over The Winter May Need To Take Stronger Vitamin D Supplements, Study Indicates.

quoted study author Nicholas C. Harvey, MA, MB, BChir, MRCP, PhD, Professor of Rheumatology and Clinical Epidemiology at the UK’s University of Southampton, who said, “It is critical for pregnant women to have sufficient levels of vitamin D for the health of their baby.” Harvey added, “Our study findings suggest that in order to optimize vitamin D concentrations through pregnancy, the supplemental dose given may need to be tailored to a woman’s individual circumstances, such as the anticipated season of delivery.” http://endocrinenews.endocrine.org/customized-vitamin-d-supplements-may-benefit-pregnant-women/
