Vitamin D in Pregnancy Boosts Memory
A recent study concluded that pregnant women taking high doses of vitamin D during pregnancy may experience a limited improvement in certain memory abilities in their children when they reach age ten, without a significant impact on overall intelligence. The study, conducted in Denmark and involving about 500 children, found that children whose mothers took 2,400 IU of vitamin D daily, compared to 400 IU, scored better in memory and cognitive flexibility tests. However, experts warned against increasing dosages randomly due to risks associated with excess, such as high calcium levels and kidney damage.
