High doses of popular supplement in pregnancy may boost kids’ school performance
A new study suggests that high doses of vitamin D during pregnancy may enhance children's cognitive performance. The research indicates that children whose mothers took higher doses showed improvements in visual memory, verbal memory, and cognitive flexibility by age 10. This study adds to the growing evidence of the importance of vitamin D for neurodevelopment in children.
- ▪A study published in JAMA Network Open found positive associations between high daily doses of vitamin D during pregnancy and cognitive performance in children.
- ▪More than 600 pregnant women participated, taking either 2,800 IU or 400 IU of vitamin D daily.
- ▪Children at age 10 showed better memory and cognitive flexibility linked to higher prenatal vitamin D intake.
