As far as I know there is little if any proven benefit to vitamin D supplementation, but a lot of links between high vitamin D and good health markers. Just a reminder that you should try to get some sun exposure as well for natural vitamin D, as that may well be where the health benefits really come from
- epgui 1y agoVit D is actually one of the few vitamin supplements that have proven benefits, if you live far from the equator.

- kuratkull 1y agoAnything you want to share that raises it above all else? Especially as you agree that all other supplements are basically snake oil.
- layer8 1y agoThey are talking about vitamin supplements specifically.
- dwedge 1y agoSupplemention specifically, or raised vitamin D? This article suggested otherwise but I haven't followed it up https://www.outsideonline.com/podcast/inside-rowan-jacobsen-sunscreen-feature/ https://www.outsideonline.com/podcast/inside-rowan-jacobsen-...
- const_cast 1y agoAs an aside when it comes to sun and vitamin D: your body will still produce vitamin D from the sun if you wear sunscreen. You also get all the mental health benefits like serotonin and whatnot with sunscreen. So, if you're a partial sun plant (white person), you should get sun but you should use sunscreen, and you'll be fine and that will work.
