Vitamin D Supplementation During Pregnancy: Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial of Safety and Effectiveness


The need, safety, and effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy remain controversial. In this randomized, controlled
trial, women with a singleton pregnancy at 12 to 16 weeks’ gestation received 400, 2000, or 4000 IU of vitamin D3 per day until delivery.
The primary outcome was maternal/neonatal circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration at delivery, with secondary
outcomes of a 25(OH)D concentration of 80 nmol/L or greater achieved and the 25(OH)D concentration required to achieve maximal
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] production. Of the 494 women enrolled, 350 women continued until delivery: Mean 25(OH)D
concentrations by group at delivery and 1 month before delivery were significantly different ( p
