Taking Dicalis (calcium and vitamin D3) daily alongside Uprise D3 (cholecalciferol 60,000 IU) once a month is a very common and generally safe practice prescribed to support your bone health and baby's development. When spread out, this monthly dose of cholecalciferol averages to a safe daily amount well below safety limits, making vitamin D toxicity highly unlikely. However, because every pregnancy is unique, please share this regimen with your obstetrician. They can verify if this matches your specific prenatal blood test results.

I am 25 weeks pregnant and taking Dicalis-OD, but my vitamin D levels are still low and I feel very tired in the mornings; why is my vitamin D still low, how much is safe for me to take, and is vitamin D2 or D3 better?

It is very common to experience low vitamin D during pregnancy because your body's demands increase. Your supplement, Dicalis-OD, contains calcium and vitamin D3, but the dose may only be enough for maintenance rather than correcting a deficiency. Vitamin D3 is generally more effective than D2 at raising your levels. While up to 4,000 IU daily is safe during pregnancy, your obstetrician can prescribe the exact therapeutic dose you need. Your morning fatigue could also be linked to normal pregnancy changes or low iron, so please share these results with your doctor to safely tailor your care.
