The common vitamin could play a crucial role in lifelong
brain health. Low vitamin D and newborn delevates the risk
of developing autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia. We're optimizing the levels
could reduce the incidents of neurodelevental disorders later on. According
to a massive data set so we see as an
epidemiological study of correlational study, they found evidence that people
would lower vitamin D concentration as a baby had an

(00:23):
increased risk of schizophrenia, autism, and ADHD. A lot of
these issues are having prefunnel cortex issues. Previous research had
linked neonatovitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of schizophrenia
and autism, but this study examined a wider range of
mental disorders and included evidence based on two vitamin D
related biomarkers and related genetics. The study suggested taking a

(00:46):
daily vitamin D supplement during pregnancy and infancy could lower
the likelihood of these psychiatric issues. The recommended daily level
of vitamin D for pregnant and breastfeeding women is about
four hundred ius. Vitamin D is import or for a
baby's brain development, and low vitamin D levels were common
and pregnant women across the globe. This is why many
countries recommended the use of vitamin D supplements during pregnancy,

(01:08):
similar to how fold aid supplements were recommended during pregnancy
to prevent spinambifida. The research suggests that optimizing vitamin D
levels in early life may reduce the risk of several
neurodevelopmental disorders.
