Why Vitamin D for Pregnancy
For pregnancy support, Vitamin D is a important ingredient backed by research. Essential for calcium absorption, bone health, immune regulation, and gene expression. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is significantly more effective than D2 (ergocalciferol) at raising and maintaining blood levels, making it the preferred supplemental form.
What dose to look for
Clinical studies typically use 1000–5000 IU of vitamin d. Clinical consensus supports 1000–5000 IU/day; RDA of 600 IU is considered conservative. Supplements that fall short of this threshold are unlikely to match what clinical trials achieved.
What form to look for
Avoid ergocalciferol — d2 — less effective than d3. Avoid vitamin d2 — less effective than d3. For best results, choose cholecalciferol (d3).
