Reducing early pregnancy loss with vitamin D<sub>3</sub>: an analysis of serum 1,25-(OH)D<sub>3</sub> modulation and miscarriage risk
This case-control study of 124 early-pregnant women found that daily supplementation with 400 IU of vitamin D<sub>3</sub> significantly increased serum 1,25-(OH)D<sub>3</sub> levels and was associated with a lower incidence of threatened miscarriage. The study suggests that vitamin D<sub>3</sub> supplementation could reduce the risk of early miscarriage and improve pregnancy outcomes by modulating immune responses and hormonal stability.
