Mothers should take daily 4,000 IU while pregnant and 6,000 IU each day of vitamin D3 while breastfeeding. Also infants should get 400 IU per day. This 800 IU vitamin D3 should come from a combination of diet, exposure to sunlight, and an added 600 IU per day of supplementation.

For osteoporosis take K2-MK-4 (5mg/day). Do not take these supplements if you are taking oral anticoagulants, like warfarin (a.k.a. Coumadin), that are vitamin K antagonists.  
·         B100 Supplement: Keep your homocysteine levels low - take 100mg/day of vitamin B6, 100mcg/day of vitamin B12, and 400mcg of folic acid. These are all found in a time-release B100 complex.
