Dr. Wang Lei
The best time for pregnant women to take vitamin D is during early pregnancy. Iodine promotes the development of the fetal brain and nervous system—the so-called "intelligence element" of the human body. Iodine deficiency may lead to stillbirth, miscarriage, congenital malformations, and intellectual disabilities. For individuals with a history of erosive gastritis, atrophic gastritis, or reflux gastritis, it is recommended to take supplements within half an hour after meals. In daily life, it is advisable to consume more kelp, eggs, and similar foods.
