(~800 IU per day) by women during pregnancy is inversely related to wheezing or asthma in their offspring during up to 3 years of follow-up92. However, a longer follow-up did not confirm this conclusion: vitamin D supplementation during the prenatal period alone did not influence the 6-...

Results showed that this dose of vitamin D was highly effective at increasing vitamin D levels in the mother. More than 80 per cent of women who had received the supplement had satisfactory levels of vitamin D when measured in late pregnancy (the point at which most calcium bone mineral is ...
