Long-term (3+ years) supplementation of vitamin D significantly decreases all-cause mortality [1]. So yeah, take the supps if you don't get enough sunlight. But personally I am convinced that sunlight exposure, and additional near-infrared "supplementation" are preferable. Nitric oxide release is a double whammy because it reduces stress within cells, and promotes endothelial health (as mentioned in the article).

- manmal 8y agoGreat find (sibling comment posted the same btw). I was actually looking for papers like this but didn't find any.
- reinhardt1053 8y agoRecent long study results (5.3 years follow up) show no benefit on vitamin D supplement: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1811403 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1811403
