  Speaker 1: The common vitamin could play a crucial role in lifelong

  Speaker 1: brain health. Low vitamin D and newborn delevates the risk

  Speaker 1: of developing autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia. We're optimizing the levels

  Speaker 1: could reduce the incidents of neurodelevental disorders later on. According

  Speaker 1: to a massive data set so we see as an

  Speaker 1: epidemiological study of correlational study, they found evidence that people
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: would lower vitamin D concentration as a baby had an
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: increased risk of schizophrenia, autism, and ADHD. A lot of

  Speaker 1: these issues are having prefunnel cortex issues. Previous research had
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: linked neonatovitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of schizophrenia

  Speaker 1: and autism, but this study examined a wider range of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: mental disorders and included evidence based on two vitamin D
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: related biomarkers and related genetics. The study suggested taking a

  Speaker 1: daily vitamin D supplement during pregnancy and infancy could lower

  Speaker 1: the likelihood of these psychiatric issues. The recommended daily level

  Speaker 1: of vitamin D for pregnant and breastfeeding women is about

  Speaker 1: countries recommended the use of vitamin D supplements during pregnancy,

  Speaker 1: similar to how fold aid supplements were recommended during pregnancy
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to prevent spinambifida. The research suggests that optimizing vitamin D

  Speaker 1: levels in early life may reduce the risk of several
