Your links state the exact opposite and it's important to get wording right here. If you have a tested vitamin D deficiency (and it's not "mild", as Deva Boone highlights), there are CLEAR benefits to supplementing.
It's only in healthy individuals where the benefits are tiny (like the cancer testing 0.9% v 1.2%) or non-existent.
- underdeserver 4y agoI should have been clearer. The way I understand it, for healthy people, a low Vitamin D result on a blood test doesn't merit supplementation. For various specific illnesses, diagnosed separately, addressing Vitamin D deficiency through supplementation could help. (Not a doctor, don't take medical advice from HN comments)
