Summary

This study tests whether taking a daily vitamin D supplement (4000 IU) can lower the chance of preeclampsia returning in pregnant women who have had it before. Researchers will randomly assign 146 women to receive either vitamin D or a placebo from enrollment until 36 weeks of pregnancy. Participants attend check-ups every two weeks for blood pressure monitoring and have vitamin D levels measured monthly to watch for toxicity.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) 4000 IU taken orally once daily
What this could lead to
If effective, daily vitamin D could become a simple, low-cost way to prevent preeclampsia in women who have had it before.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 146 participants, so results may not apply to all populations. Vitamin D can be toxic at high doses, and the benefit over placebo is unproven.
