Vitamin D for stronger babies
Pregnant women who consume vitamin D could lead to stronger babies.
09/01/06 Giving pregnant women vitamin D could mean their babies grow stronger bones in later life, a study suggests.
A study of 198 mothers indicated the children of those who lacked the vitamin, crucial for calcium absorption, had weaker bones at nine.
Those who took supplements or were exposed to more sunlight, which helps the body grow its own vitamin D, had children with greater bone densities.
The research from Southampton General Hospital is published in the Lancet.
