Hello Mrs., thank you for your question! Osteoporosis Canada recommends between 400 and 1000 units of vitamin D per day. So you are currently covered with Centrum Prenatal :) Some doctors ask their pregnant patients to take an additional dose of vitamin D to reach 1000 units per day, but you can wait until your next appointment to find out, it is not urgent if you are currently taking 600 units. Hopefully I've been helpful, I'm still available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist With pleasure, good day to you too!
