Reply To: Vitamin D3

Hi, Nina! This is an individualized question. I can’t tell you if you specifically need to be supplementing with additional vitamin D without doing an assessment. We are working to update this note but more info on vitamin D can be found here: https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/vitamin-d/ – testing your vitamin D levels is recommended and then working with a nutrition specialist to figure out appropriate dosing from there!

If your prenatal vitamin has less than 1000 IUs vitamin D, it is very likely you should be taking an additional supplement.
