Is Algae Vitamin D3 safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women?Updated a year ago

Yes, D3 is safe for breastfeeding and lactating women. The NHS recommends taking 10 micrograms (400 IU) of Vitamin D3 a day, however if you have a Vitamin D deficiency most experts recommend 1,000–2,000 IU per day. This is the equivalent of up to two NothingFishy Vitamin D3 softgels a day. For more information, please see here. 

Vitamin D is an important nutrient for both maternal and fetal health, and adequate vitamin D intake during pregnancy and lactation is essential for the development of healthy bones and teeth. Some studies have also suggested that vitamin D may play a role in reducing the risk of certain pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes.

As with any supplement or medication, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before taking Vitamin D3 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. They can help you determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs, and provide guidance on how to ensure optimal maternal and fetal health.
