We can all agree that vitamins are meant to help our body improve its day-to-day functions. Different vitamins are meant to improve every separate organ system in our body from immunity to mental function, to energy, to blood count and the list goes on and on.

However, when it comes to pregnancy there is a strict guideline to follow regarding your vitamin supplements and that is solidified in the prenatal vitamins found at every store. However, are these guidelines enough since they assume that the consumer already is healthy and normal regarding their vitamin levels. But is that really the case in the population?

Since vitamin D3 is naturally found in the human body, it is generally considered the preferred form of vitamin D supplementation, which is obtained (mostly) from lanolin that is sourced from sheep’s wool (lanolin).

The effect and safety of animal-based Vitamin D3 is proven.

There is another type of Vitamin D3 which is 100% vegan and vegetarian and sourced from lichen extract.

While, D3 sourced from Lanolin serves as a smart way to maintain optimal levels of Vitamin D3, the safety of utilizing the other supplement which is sourced from lichen is still unknown.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by your pineal gland (located just above the center of your brain). During the day, the pineal gland is inactive. In the evening, melatonin levels rise sharply as your brain starts to recognize light reduction. The elevated levels continue for about 12 hours. The following morning, after a night of sleep, melatonin levels return to low daytime levels – barely detectable.

The body’s production of melatonin declines gradually with age. Many doctors believe that the loss in melatonin is associated with several age-related diseases, lowered sleep efficacy, and deterioration of the circadian rhythm.
