The best time for pregnant women to supplement vitamin D
Disease description:
My wife is pregnant, and the doctor advised her to supplement vitamin D promptly. When is the best time for pregnant women to take vitamin D?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Pregnant women should ideally supplement early, as it helps fetal brain and nerve development and can prevent miscarriage, low intelligence in children, and other issues. Calcium tablets or similar supplements can be used, but they should be taken under a doctor's guidance to avoid adverse reactions. Supplements can be taken after breakfast and before lunch, or after lunch and before dinner—these times are generally on an empty stomach, allowing for optimal absorption.
